20TH ANNUAL FATHER'S DAY CAR SHOW

With
growing attendance every year, this year's 20th annual Father's Day Car Show Sunday,
June 15 on Main Street in downtown Hyannis is expected to draw more than 60,000
attendees, making it Cape Cod's largest non-sporting annual event.  Along the historic mile-long Main Street
thoroughfare 350 classic and nostalgic cars from New England and New York will
be displayed in all their glory. To qualify, most cars must be 25 years or
older; 37 awards will be presented to vehicle owners by area businesses for
favorites.



This
year's special guest will be Shirley Muldowney, the first woman to be licensed
by the National Hot Rod Association and the first to drive a top fuel dragster.
Muldowney, known as the "First Lady of Drag Racing" and winning 18
NHRA national events during her career, will speak at a participants' VIP
reception Saturday night (June 14) at John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum.



In
addition to the classic car exhibition, 
a craft show on the Hyannis Village Green will span both Saturday and
Sunday.  There will be family and children's entertainment including
magicians, balloons, cartoon artists, stilt walkers and a kids’ arts and crafts
table. The show promises to be a joyous way to honor dad with a day of fun
for him and the entire family. There are dozens of wonderfully diverse
restaurants along Main Street, so treat dad to a special lunch or brunch, enjoy
the one of a kind shops, boutiques and galleries, take a carousel ride, stop
into a candy store, ice cream emporium or buy dad a special Father's Day gift.
