The Western Fremont Historical Society is set to bring history enthusiasts and automotive lovers together for the third annual “Wheels of Time” car show. Scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 5 at the Howard History Center in Howard, this event invites participants to showcase their vehicles while engaging with the community. Free registration starts at 10 a.m., and entries will be displayed around Howard Square, allowing visitors to vote for their favorites by marking them with hearts. The day promises entertainment, historical exhibits, and interactive activities that celebrate both local heritage and modern culture.
This year’s event aims to highlight not only classic cars but also motorcycles and trucks. Participants can expect a memorable experience as they receive complimentary photographs of themselves alongside their vehicles via email. Glen Mallory of Salida has been appointed as the grand marshal, adding to the excitement of the occasion. Beyond the vehicle displays, guests will enjoy trolley tours around Howard Square, fundraising initiatives featuring cookies tied to historical themes, and live performances including an open mic session where anyone can take part.
A special exhibit showcasing car memorabilia and an 1890s Courting Buggy adds a unique touch to the festivities. These elements underscore the society's commitment to preserving and sharing the region's rich past through engaging events. The organizers encourage all who wish to participate or attend to mark their calendars for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration.
In conjunction with Howard Hall Community Center’s Independence Day activities, the "Wheels of Time" car show exemplifies how tradition and innovation come together. By blending historical preservation with community engagement, the event fosters connections among residents and visitors alike. Those interested in learning more about participation or volunteering are invited to reach out directly for further details. This gathering serves as a testament to the power of shared experiences in strengthening community bonds.
