Rend Lake Car Show

BIG CHANGES THIS YEAR 2020

Elite Event Sponsors

This year car show will look much different from last year. Because of the Courthouse Construction and lack of space we will be holding the car show in the public parking lot on Washington St. (behind Joe's Pizza), If we fill that parking lot we will start parking cars on the Ford Car Garage Museum parking lot. Pre-registration will be set up on the State Bank of Whittington parking lot. Day of registration will take place on the Ford Car Garage Museum parking lot.
Covid19 has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. The Benton West City Area Chamber of Commerce along with the Franklin Williamson Co, Health Department request that you follow CDC guidelines for Social Distancing, Hand Washing and Face Coverings. There will be hand washing stations on the Washington Street parking lot and Hand Sanitizer available at all booth locations.

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. We will do our best to keep all clubs reserved spots together but this is not guaranteed.
