10th Annual Rotary/CARE Car Show February 2, 2013

Feb. 2, 2013, 9am to 3pm; Rain Date Feb. 9

The classic, new and unique will headline the 10th edition of this popular fundraiser, which promises a fabulous display of some 400 antique and classic cars and trucks, and likely some specialty vehicles (think John Deere tractor). The return of the popular New-Car Row will show the latest models from the 11 dealers of Capistrano Auto Center. Vehicles from all over Southern California are anticipated in the open-class show, with trophies going to the top 15 entries.

One of the most well-attended events in town, more than 1,000 people are expected to enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere that will include the high-flying Disc Dogs demo team, DJ Thumper MacDowell, food by Las Golondrinas, exhibits and vendor booths, plus excellent opportunity drawing prizes. Joining the event will be the Orange County Animal Care's Mobile Adoption Vehicle with animals available for adoption. Contributing to the festive surroundings, a number of car owners and guests bring their dogs, which must be well-behaved and leashed.
The Car Show is presented by The Rotary Club of San Juan Capistrano and Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort (CARE) to benefit Rotary Club charities in support of children, youth, military families, and others, and CARE's support of animal rescue-related activities and organizations.

A companion event, the 5th Annual Dr. Joe Cortese Memorial Motorcycle Poker Run, honoring the longtime Rotarian and CARE founding member, is expected to attract several hundred bikers from all over Southern California. This year's ride will start with check-in from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Orange County Harley-Davidson, 8677 Research Dr. in Irvine, wend through scenic south Orange County, and finish at the Car Show. Admission to the Show is included.
