The Roebling Museum’s renown car show returns on April 27 for its 10th year.
The theme to the event this year is to honor and salute veterans.
The show is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Along with a varied display of cars, trucks, rat rods, antique fire trucks and safety vehicles, there will be activities for youths and a selection of merchandise and food vendors.
The Roebling Museum will also team up at this year’s event with the “Movin’ on KruZers Car Club” to put on a show. Museum officials said that this year’s judges will award more than 70 trophies and specialty awards in all vehicle classes.
The “Movin’ On KruZers Car Club” was formed in January 2009 by a group of car enthusiasts to preserve and promote the car hobby, while at the same time preserving the heritage of all years, makes and models of motor vehicles. The club travels to car shows and cruises throughout the regions and also hosts and co-hosts a number of car shows annually in Spring, Summer and Fall.
Music throughout the day will be provided by Tom E. Tunes. Food vendors include Jarhead Johnny & Sons Hotdogs, Dainty Donuts, Smylie’s Ice Cream, and Sinfully Delicious Gourmet Pastries.
A full day of family entertainment is planned, too, including tours of the museum, a daily 50-50 raffle, and a gift shop featuring a selection of shirts, books and other Roebling Museum related items.
While at the car show, families have the opportunity to try their hand at the museum’s bridge building lab. This hands-on activity is provided free of charge and is fun for youths and adults alike. Youngsters ages 12 and under are admitted into the event for free.
Day-of-only show entry fee is $20 per participating vehicle. Classic and current fire, rescue and service vehicles welcome from all companies and collectors at no charge.
Included in the $5 spectator admission to the show is access to the Roebling Museum, which is dedicated to telling the story of John A. Roebling’s Sons Company, the village of Roebling, and the innovations and technological achievements of the family that changed the industrialized world.
The Museum is located at 100 Second Ave., Roebling. Ample parking is available in the museum lot off Hornberger Avenue, adjacent to the Roebling River Line parking area. The River line has a Roebling stop located behind the museum.
Visitors are encouraged to take the New Jersey Transit River Line to avoid traffic congestion. The museum is a short walk from the Roebling stop. Visitors are also encouraged not to park on 2nd Ave. on the residential side of the building. The rain date for this event is April 28.
