LAKEPORT, Calif. – Dig out those blue suede shoes and poodle skirts, hang those dice in your car window and get ready for the Hot August Nites Car Show & Concert this weekend.
The Lakeport Senior Center is hosting its third annual fundraiser event from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, at Lakeport’s Library Park on Park Street.
There is something for everyone at the event, said center Director Jonathan Crooks.
“Meet your friends, bring your family, enjoy the beauty of Library Park, listen to great music, dance, sing, eat great food, maybe win a raffle prize – what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening,” Crooks said.
Starting at 4 p.m. in the park there will be food and drink vendors offering choices ranging from hot dogs, hamburgers and pulled pork sandwiches to ice cream, with other vendors selling jewelry, crafts, clothing and 1950s memorabilia.
Come early to see beautiful cars, trucks and motorcycles “cruise the main” before they set up in front of Library Park for the Car Show on Park Street at 5 p.m.
Vehicles anticipated to be on display include a 1912 Ford C-Cab, 1931 Chevy Roadster, 1973 Chevy Wagon, 1966 Ford Mustang, 1936 Ford Phaeton, 1969 Camaro, plus many more.
A free concert by the LC Diamonds will start at 6 p.m.
There also will be many raffle prizes – courtesy passes to Cinema 5, Snoopy’s Ice Rink in Santa Rosa, Lakeport Speedway, Schwinn three-wheel bike donated by John Puccetti of Affordable Travel, a Coleman portable gas barbecue donated by Judie and Al Reynolds, an anti-gravity lounge chair, a complete ladies 1950s costume and a 1950s painted tool box donated by a “mystery shopper.”
A 1950s costume contest for both children and adults will be held, with gifts cards donated for the winners from McDonalds-Lakeport and Cheese’s Main Street Pizza.
Proceeds will benefit the center in serving the community's many seniors as well as upgrading much-needed equipment.
