If a vehicle has wheels and can roll, it’s eligible be entered in the fourth annual St. Luke-Simpson United Methodist Church Cars for Christ Car, Truck & Bike Show.
Classic cars, new vehicles, motorcycles — all makes, models and years are welcome at the event, which is free to spectators, and will be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 11 at 1500 Country Club Road.
“If they want to pay to enter it, people are free to show whatever they want,” said show coordinator Beth Bowers. “The first year we did this, someone even decorated a Little Tykes Cozy Coupe and entered that.”
After that first show, the Cozy Coupe ride-in toy car was donated to the Plauch? quintuplets. Those same quintuplets — Corinne, Miles, Owen, Reece and Tessa — now 4 years old, are the ones who inspired Bowers and her classic car-enthusiast husband, Joe, to have a car show in the first place. As in past years, proceeds from the event are going into a college fund for the children, who attend St. Luke-Simpson Church with their mother, Sarah Parks.
Cars for Christ is a kid-friendly event. In addition to giving all children a chance to vote on their favorite vehicle, children can also meet C.C. the Clown. Attendees can visit the bake sale and buy concessions, and listen to live music.
Heckhaven Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and Lake Charles Pit Bull Rescue will be showing animals at the event from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. A Life Share Blood Drive will take place from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on the grounds.
For participants, pre-registration ends March 6 at $25 per vehicle. Registration the day of the show will be $30 per vehicle. Awards will be presented at 2:30 p.m. Winners are decided upon by judges, people’s choice and participants choice and children’s choice ballots in all classes of vehicles.
This year’s trophies are one-of-a-kind handmade originals fashioned by Joe Bowers from wrenches, carburetors and other miscellaneous car parts.
