NASSAU, Bahamas -- Members of the Antique Auto Cub of The Bahamas have begun organizing plans for the Club's 26th Annual Antique Auto Show and Cook-out. The Annual show, which has become a local favourite will again be held at Arawak Cay. The date is Saturday, March 23 from the hours of Noon to 6:00 PM.
Last year's show at the same location featured about 60 local cars and trucks. The club is hoping to exceed that amount in 2013 and is appealing to members of the public, who own vintage vehicles aged 20 years old or more, and are not already members of the club to participate in the show. Entry fee for cars being judged remains at $35. Judging will be done in 8 different classes for trophies in first, second and third positions. The popular People's Choice, where visitors to the show determine the winners, and has cash prizes as well as trophies, of course, remains as a standard of the Show.
Funds are raised primarily through the sale of steak and chicken dinners, still at the same cost of $10 that it has been for the past several years. Tickets are available from any Club member. Advance purchase allows free entry to the Show.  All funds raised continue to be donated to a charity or organization benefiting children. Last year the recipient was the Elizabeth Estates Children's Home (see photo). There will be two beneficiaries for the 2013 Show, names of which will be announced shortly following discussions with those organizations.
