must go on basically and did an impromptu get-together and it has been a continued tradition.” Each evening of the event includes about 40 volunteers between the afternoon and the evening to help set up for the evening and then clean up at the end — they try to leave the space in better shape than when they arrived. The hardest part of the event is that cars must be parked legally before 5 p.m. until the streets can be blocked off. There is about an hour of moving 300 cars backing into their spots, so the volunteers are helping direct the drivers. Kennedy explained that he takes the volunteers to breakfast beforehand and then takes everyone out for dinner at the end of the season as a thank you for their help. This is a free event that invites classic car enthusiasts and the community to come out and enjoy. He explains that this event is truly a family atmosphere about classic cars. It is advised for newcomers who want to show their classic car to make sure to get there early and save a spot. And don’t worry too much about its condition. “We aren’t just looking for the cars that just have the recent paint job and that are pristine. We are looking for the cars that are brought out in the middle of the restoration,” Kennedy smiled. “It may have the engine done but not the interior or maybe the interior is done but not the paint.”
