The 9th Fountain Valley Car Show was held on June 27, 2015, as part of the City of Fountain Valley’s Summerfest staged at Mile Square Park. The variety of activities made this an event for the entire family. Mile Square Park is also a feast for the eyes and a superb place to hold a car show. The cars began lining up around 6:00 am among them were a varied and eclectic cross-section, with the 1950’s and ‘60’s predominating. The DJ music was Rock ‘N Roll.
The weather was a little on the warm side, but the famous California June gloom cleared up by noon. Von Hot Rod’s Pinstriping was on site, and busy with customers. Next to the pinstripers was the display for the WRA or Western Racing Association. Kenny Hillberg, a local Fountain Valley resident, brought four race cars. Over 47 vendors displayed a variety of products. Over $5,000. worth of prizes were raffled off to 114 lucky winners!
The carnival is part of the Fountain Valley Summerfest and is both separate from, yet working with the car show. They are side by side events and the carnival is where the crowd goes for food, games, and rides. They had many major rides and games of skill that seemed fun and relatively easy to play.
There were 12 food booths run by local non-profit and volunteer organizations such as; Little League, Kiwanis, Fountain Valley High School and others. The food was delicious and offered at reasonable prices. At the end of the day 30, show cars won an award. This is a fun show. Add it to your calendar.
Thanks for the Show!!
