The Rolling Antiquers Old Car Club will be sponsoring its 43rd Annual Antique Auto Show and its Car Parts, Antiques & Collectibles Market during the 2008 Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, May 24th, and Sunday, May 25th. The two day event will be held at the Chenango County Fairgrounds in Norwich, N.Y. The Club’s Annual Show and Market attract several thousand visitors each Memorial Day weekend.

Restored and original condition show vehicles come from every era and include motorcycles, tractors and trucks. Saturday will feature Muscle Cars and Street Rods such as the Corvette and the Deuce Coupe. Sunday will highlight the Antique Cars from the Model T to the Packard. The RAOCC Show draws more than 1000 vehicles and their proud owners from the surrounding counties and from out of state. Show car owners have come from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the New England region, the Mid-Atlantic states and even Ontario, Canada.

Over 300 Car Parts vendors and more than 100 Antiques & Collectibles vendors will have their wares for sale on both days. Alongside the car show, private owners from a military club will display a variety of military vehicles. Vendors will be selling related merchandise. Revolutionary War re-enactors will be recreating an encampment and holding demonstrations. All of these events will occur against the musical backdrop of a DJ service.

Rain or shine, the show will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. General admission each day is $5 per person. Admission is free for children under 12 years old. Food booths will be staffed by RAOCC members and local food vendors. The menus have included barbecue chicken dinners, philly cheese steak sandwiches and pulled-pork sandwiches, along with the typical staple of hot dogs, hamburgers and French fries. Ice cream and a variety of cold beverages will be available. Free shuttle buses will run between the Fairgrounds and parking areas in Norwich. Dog ordinance enforced during the Show.
