Carlinville Car Show

Hello car show peeps, we are gearing up for another great year and who could forget it is the 100 year Anniversary of Rt 66. We still got things in the works but wanted to start off by sharing, starting this year and going forward we will be accepting Early Registration with a mailed in Registration form. To get a form please text 2175567617 with your email address. Because of the trolling scammers out there we will ONLY be accepting checks and money orders by mail with the registration form. For more details follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1bQESQHjyz/   This year expecting to be our biggest year yet so we not only added more classes we are taking it a step farther and we are shutting down the square for everyone’s safety and closing off some of the streets by the Courthouse with one point of entry and exit at West Main going towards the square. We are also zoning so tractors, motorcycles and all other registrations will be assigned to a section.  There will be a cruise after the show with destinations to get pictures of your vehicles, bands playing on the square and yummy event called The Taste of Carlinville.  The Kittenz of the Kulture will also be having a pin up contest. Competition is open to the public with two contests one for adults and one for kids.
