Lots of gas guzzlers on Main Street Friday - and boy are they beautiful
Antique cars, classic cars, trucks, tractors, golf carts, fire engines, motorcycles and Cushman each have one thing in common: Wheels.
And that word will be celebrated in Bluffton on Friday, June 19, as the Bluffton Lions Club brings the 48th annual Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in to Main Street.
This year's show commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Dixie Highway. Main Street Bluffton was once part of that highway that spread from Canada to Florida.
Here’s the schedule:
• Cars (and other vehicles with wheels) will be on display on Main Street from Elm to College Avenue. Vehicles will begin arriving at 2 p.m.
• 2:30-6:30 Jeff Houston, DJ, will play ‘50s music
• Car judging begins at 5 p.m.
• Trophies are awarded at 7 p.m.
• Cruise down Main Street begins at 8 p.m.
• An arts and crafts area is part of the show
In addition to wheels there will be plenty of food available from local businesses.
Registration takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. at a cost of $12 per vehicle. Proceeds from the event benefit the work of the Bluffton Lions Club.
