Troop 135 would like to thank you for taking the time to find
out about this years car show. This is a very import year for the Boy
Scouts of America because it is our 100th Birthday! To make it even more
special, This is the 90th year of the American Legion being a chartering
organization for the Boy Scouts. Though the a Troop can be sponsored by
any one of many civic organiaations, our group, Troop 135, is sponsored
by the local Post 81 of the American Legion in Leitchfield, KY.
This year we are going all out to make this our best show ever, and the
membership of the American Legion is here to help! We of course want
everyone to attend, but we especially would like to see ANY and ALL
veterans and scouts from the area out to mingle.
We have made several changes this year starting with the Poker Run
scheduled by the Post after the Grayson County Labor Day Parade.
Anyone intersted can meet up and the Legion Hall located across from
Home Plate off US 62 North in Leitchfield. Of course cars are welcome
anytime during the day at the show, but we have pushed registration back
to 3:30 in an attempt to let some of the scorching heat subside and to give
folks time to clean their cars. We are also having a pig roast that
should be very tasty. We will once again have our Corn-Hole tournament
that seemed to go very well last year inspite of the weather!
We hope to make this year better than ever! We won't go home until everyone
is ready. Hopefully it will be a day of fun and freindship for all!
In the past, a lot of competitors said the trophies did not
matter, but apparently to some people, that is just not true!
Of course trophies are normally very expensive and counter to raising
money, but last year we found a way to make the awards we do give more
meaningful and cost less! In
conjunction with the BSA Woodworking Merit Badge, the boys in the Troop
actually made
the awards again this year! They worked very hard reclaiming oak and
spruce from a local barn. They plained, cut, routered, glued, and bradded
everything you see with very little adult help! You can see result of
their hard work in the trophies below:
In addition to the Corn-Hole tourney to keep everyone busy, we will also have the
music of our favorite DJ on-site as usual blasting the tunes. We did not have
many yard sale/flea marketeers show up last year, but there were a few that toughed
it out and kept everybody busy.. That being said, we cannot encourage you enough
to bring any old parts you would like to trade/sell this year. We want this event
to be the best it can for the competitors, the spectators, and the Troop. If you have
any ideas on how to make the show better, please take the time
to contact us.
Below is a list of trophies we have awarded in the past:
As always, except where noted, all awards will be Scout's choice.
You get to see how your car compares in the eyes of 12-18 year old
boys! We will do class break at 1980. People's choice
will be determined by donation. Competitors choice will be
made by ballot. There will be a 50/50 raffel like always as
well as door prizes for competitors.
As always, compeitors are given one free meal with entrance into show. We
usually will
have choice of hot dog, BBQ, or burger, chips, and a canned drink. We
will most likely also have a desert treat like a brownie or rice crispy
treat available. Of
course all the food will be available for purchase by the general public.
Competitors can arrive as early as they want. Parking will be on blacktop,
but we are looking into having grass space if desired. All entrants
need to be signed-in before 3:30 so that judging may begin. We hope
to have awards this year around 6:00.
Canopys and camp chairs are welcomed and competitors are encouraged to
use them. Car clubs are highly encouraged to attend, and we will be
more than happy to add other special classes if we know at least 5 cars
will be in attendance.
The show will be held in the parking lot at Bailey's in Millwood:

the edge of two postal codes)
