While white walls will be all the rage and bike chrome will shine at the 16th Annual Herndon Car, Truck & Bike Show, expect to see some vehicles that far exceed the delivery condition of any Sunday cruising classic, muscle machine, or hard-working vehicle that rolled off the assembly line.
On Sunday, Sept. 10 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in Herndon’s Historic Downtown District, 777 Lynn St., the Herndon Rotary Club is producing the daylong show for the fourth year originally founded by the Herndon Police Benevolent Association and hosted by AARP Dulles.
There is no charge to spectators. Rain or shine.
This year, registration is open to all models of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Day of registration for participants begins at 7 a.m. and is $15. Pre-registration by Wednesday, Sept. 6 is available online for $10.
The first 75 entries receive Dash Plaques. Participants compete for 20 Top Awards, Owner and People's Choice Awards, and Sponsor Trophies. When the barricades open to the public at 10 a. m., expect to hear DJ music by Retro Sounds Fred Cheshire.
Proceeds from the show benefit scholarships for George Mason University School of Nursing students and projects of the Herndon Rotary Club. Griffin-Owens Insurance Group in Herndon is the Title Sponsor. Rotary is seeking additional sponsors for both the car and motorcycle divisions.
There is so much to see. Plan to make a day of it and visit any one or more of Herndon’s 14 dining establishments located in the Historic Downtown District, steps or within easy walking distance from the show. The vast majority are locally owned and operated, and offer a variety of dining options.
