A tradition that began 15 years ago continues to raise money for the Emporia State University General Academic Scholarship fund. Commercial Street from 10th and 11th Avenues will become a display for various vehicles during the 15th Annual Custom Car Show. The 2010 event raised $1,000. This year’s goal is $2,000.
Show director Gilbert Rodriguez founded the car show after assisting with a car club in Wichita. “Latino Dreams used to have car shows there every year,” Rodriguez said. “The money they raised they used to give it to Big Brothers Big Sisters. They used to have it in Century II and Lowrider Magazine was there.” From that show the idea of the Emporia show was formed.
The annual event presented by the Emporia Brown Express Athletic Club, the ESU Karate Club and the ESU Newman Kansas Association of nursing students will feature categories of antique, classic, domestic 1980 to 1995, domestic 1996-2012, corvette, street rod, hot rod, low rider, muscle car, imports, Camaro, trucks, sport utility vehicles, under construction and miscellaneous vehicles. The Camaro category is new this year.
First and second place winners will receive awards. There will also be a Dan Tebbetts Memorial Trophy, best of show awards, two foot trophy and the new Cashiuss Sky Becker Memorial Camaro Trophy. There will also be first place trophies in the paint, graphics and interior club participation, first and second place trophies in the sound off stereo contest, SPL competition classes including competition for one to two 10, 12, and 15 inch subwoofers, and the Ultimate Class.
Family entertainment will also be provided including Neil Tebbetts’s DJ T6 Entertainment, DJ Boris Monster Sound, National anthem sung by Stephanie Cervantes and Jaime Izaguirre, pinatas, mystery face and body painting, photographer, Jennifer Abbasi, Latin Illution performance dancing with Mickey Enriqez and Katy Garcia instructors, singing by Stephanie Cervantes, Angela Felipe and Jaime Izaguirre from the Sandra Burden School of Dancing, a performance by local hip-hop artist C-Major and a Zumba dance class by Genesis Health Club.
