Event information

We are happy to announce the Rend Lake Care Show will return to the Benton Square for 2022!  We have many fun and exciting plans for this year.  We will host a vendor fair in the Campbell Building parking lot.  We hope to have at least 30 vendors.  We will make regular updates as our vendor list grows.  There will be special displays by Gateway Bronco and Off Road Audio and Accessories.  We will also feature a "Kids Choice Award" that will be determined by kids in attendance under the age of 12.  Each child will be given a ballot, and once they have cast their vote, they will be given a token they can turn in for a free snow cone for the first 100 kids.   So, encourage your friends and family to come out and bring the kids. 
 
This  is a special year, not only because we will be returning to the Square, but also because The Army Corp. of Engineers are Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Rend Lake.   To Celebrate the Anniversary the Benton/West City Area Chamber of Commerce will host a Concert at the Spillway Amphitheater .  After the awards ceremony we will cruise to Rend Lake Spillway Event Parking lot.   The Gluten 3 will open at 7:00pm and David Ball will take the Stage at 8:00pm. 
David Ball is a Grammy-winning Country Artist from Nashville.  David has 14 singles that have entered the Billboard Hot County Songs Charts.  "Thinking Problem" - "Riding With Private Malone" - "What'll I Do" - " When The Thought of You Catches Up With Me"  and many more.
 
We will be raffling a Tokheim Phillips 66 Gas Pump.  You do not have to be present to win.  Tickets can be purchased at the Benton West City Area Chamber of Commerce starting August 1, 2022 and will be sold up to 5:00 p.m. the night of the event.  Registration prizes will be given throughout the evening, but registration prizes are only available to those who pre-register for the Car Show.  Pre-registration cut-off is August 20, 2022.  Those who register after the cut-off date will not get a t-shirt, dash plaque or raffle ticket for the pre-registration prizes. 
 
Construction of the new courthouse is complete but unfortunately  we no longer have the lovely shade trees, so please remember to bring lawn chairs and/or tents with you.  Due to unpredictable weather, we suggest you bring a weight for your tent, in case the wind picks up.  The good news is that we will have speakers at all 4 corners of the Courthouse so Audio will be available through out the Square.   This is going to be a record year and we look forward to seeing all of you. 


Club Participation award

We will award a trophy for Club Participation to the club with the most members PREREGISTERED.  Members of the Club must be preregistered and in attendance the day of the show in order to qualify.  Please make sure that you include your club Affiliation when registering for the car show.  Unfortunately we will not be able to save spots or leave spots empty.  We will park cars according to when they arrive.  If you wish to park next to friends please arrange to arrive together.
