HAHIRA —
Three Event Highlights
• This annual event will feature displays in the downtown area by car enthusiasts and clubs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. followed by a parade at 2 p.m. Car Show participants will compete to win prizes in a number of categories like Oldest Model, Highest Odometer Reading, and Driven Farthest. Car Show winners will ride at the front of the parade. The show is open to all forms of transportation, such as classic autos, newer models, motorcycles and anything rare or unique.
• Live entertainment will be provided throughout the day by Grafted by Grace.
• At noon, a special 9-11 remembrance ceremony will be held at the Red Caboose on Main Street. The ceremony will feature the national anthem, a tribute song and a special guest speaker from Moody Air Force Base.
Why You Should Attend
Nothing is as all-American as a good ol' fashioned car show, especially when it's set against the backdrop of a community like Hahira during a patriotic time of the year. Downtown Hahira offers just that Saturday, the chance to enjoy a distinctly American pastime while paying homage to a distinctly American event. Car enthusiasts will get the chance to show off their prized possessions at a family-friendly event featuring live music. In the middle of the day, visitors will be able to take time out to remember an event that has shaped the last decade of our country's history. The American response of pulling together in the aftermath of tragedy is not unlike the everyday atmosphere in Hahira, one of cheering on a friend or welcoming a visitor. Hahirans will have the chance to do both on Saturday. — Emily Grace Newkirk, city of Hahira downtown development coordinator.
