Washburn Tech gets back in gear for Car Show
After skipping a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Washburn Tech is restarting an annual tradition by hosting its annual Car Show from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. on Friday, May 7. The event, on the Washburn Tech campus at 5724 SW Huntoon, will feature the normal attractions while following safety protocol such as wearing masks and social distancing.
Vehicle entries will be divided into five classes: custom/low riders, antique cars and trucks, muscle cars, motorcycles and special interest. The entry fee is $15 prior to the event or $20 on the day of the show. Registration forms are available in the main office on the Washburn Tech campus and at www.washburntech.edu. Dash plaques will be given to the first 100 entries.
Additional attractions include food trucks, a live band, a silent auction and games. The event is free and open to the public.
All proceeds benefit Care Closet, a committee that provides short-term financial assistance to Washburn Tech students who need help to complete their education. Aid can take the form of gas money, bus fare or a bag of groceries.
