MOHAVE COUNTY – Classic and custom vehicles, and hundreds of spectators from around the tri-state area are expected to converge on the Mohave County Sheriff’s K9 Foundation Car Show this month.
This premiere K9 car show, a favorite for local car enthusiasts, is slated for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, October 27, at the Mohave Market Place, 5480 AZ-95, in Fort Mohave.
The car show is open to classics, rat rods, customs, regular cars, trucks and motorcycles. “We do not discriminate; it can be that old banged-up-beater vehicle that has been passed down from family member to family member over the years,” said foundation officials. “If it has an engine, runs and can be driven into the car show, we’ll be excited about it and will accept the entry. If car dealerships have a vehicle or vehicles they would like to highlight, we’ll accept their entries too.”
Cost of an entry for the car show is $35 per vehicle and the first 125 entries will receive a special T-shirt and goodie bag.
For those who would like to make a sponsorship donation of $50, $100 or more, their names will be prominently displayed on a “sponsorship board” during the car show.
Car show sponsorships can be sent to Foundation Treasurer Cheri Ahlemeir at 4043 Segundo, Bullhead City, AZ 86429 or by calling her at (310) 539-4012.
