3rd Annual American Cancer Car Show Hosted by Farmington High School Students

In 2013 they did not even have driver’s license, but their first car show to benefit the American Cancer Society was a huge success. Natalie Gallo, Elizabeth Gurski and their high school friends have been involved with Relay For Life for five years raising money for the American Cancer Society.

“In the past we had baked good sales and collected donations to raise funds. We decided to try something different,” Gallo said. “For our first car show we were expecting 50 show cars and ended up with 120 filling the Post Office Square parking lot with cars. Last Spring we moved the car show to Tunxis Mead and had double the amount of cars.”

“Each year we have various groups and individuals helping us the day of the show which gets bigger each year,” Gurski said.

Additional car show sponsors include Advanced Reprographics, Canton Auto Supply, Farmington Car Wash, Maximum Beverage, Plainville Oil, ConnectiCare, Hagerty Classic Car Insurance, and Farmington Bank. LaSalle Market will be providing food and New Sound Systems will provide music.

The 3rd Annual Farmington Car Show to benefit the American Cancer Society will be held Sunday April 26th from 2pm to 6pm at Farmington High School, 10 Montieth Drive, Farmington. Car Show is open to all cars, Antique, Classic, Sports and Muscle Cars. No year cutoff. Whether you are an avid show car person or only drive your show car on Sundays, every car is welcome. Show Car donation is $10 to the American Cancer Society. Spectators are free. There will be door prizes for show car owners.
