What is a Concours?  The dictionary defines concours d'elegance as "a show or contest of vehicles and accessories in which the entries are judged chiefly on excellence of appearance and turnout". We have entries from all over the region and it is a NCCC points event. We have a panel of judges and give the winners trophies.

What is a Fun Show? A fun show is a less restrictive version of a concours, with fun categories, such as Dealer/ Celebrity Favorite or Best Mod, just for example. All the fun of the Concours, but a little less formal. A past fun show, and multi-event, we had like this was our summer Car-B-Que.
