Anyone looking for a goodtime this weekend, should head on over to the Spring Show.
“We’re going to have a car show, craft and commercial booths, horseshoes, a kid’s fishing tournament, lots of food and entertainment,” said Clem Dickerson, one of the festival’s organizers.
The annual event will celebrate its 3rd year on Saturday at Riggs Park. In its first two years, the Spring Show was held the first Saturday in May. This year it was moved to the second Saturday, so it wouldn’t conflict with the Optimist Club’s Car Seat Check.
“We’re hoping it will be a good one,” said Dickerson. “I think [attendants] can have a great time. It’s a relaxing day at the park.”
He also said a lot of people are impressed by the car show, which is hosted by the Haysville Street Rod Association. “You really get an appreciation for how much work people put into their cars.”
“We had, I think, 79 cars come last year, and we’re expecting as many or more this year,” Dickerson said.
“The kids fishing tournament is very popular,” he added. “We seem to have more entries in the horseshoe tournament every year.”
Anyone can register for the events tomorrow. Fishing registration is from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.; horseshoe registration is from 11 a.m. to noon.; and the car show registration 7:30 a.m.
It costs $10 to enter the horseshoe tournament or the car show. There is no cost to attend the show.
“Come have lunch, look at cars, and bring the kids,” said Dickerson. There will be some fun for everyone at the Spring Show.
