Autumn Day In Moorestown Car Show Collecting For Kids In Need

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The Autumn Day in Moorestown Car Show is set for Saturday, Oct. 12, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on East Main Street. Extraordinary cars from every era will converge on Main Street to benefit the Pediatric Patients of Deborah Heart and Lung Center and families from Burlington County that are affiliated with the Pinelands Family Success Center in Pemberton.

Since 2012, High Octane South Jersey has collected, purchased and donated thousands of toys. The organization’s goal is to make sure every child who receives care throughout the year at Deborah is offered a special treat to take their minds off an otherwise stressful situation.

Recently, Deborah connected High Octane with the Pineland’s Family Success Center. Each holiday season since then, High Octane has provided hundreds of Burlington County children with a little extra cheer on Christmas morning.

“As this year’s Autumn in Moorestown approaches, I encourage everyone to fill up with the High-Octane South Jersey spirit and bring a new and unwrapped toy to the event,” High Octane member Chris Scafario said. “We will have a table with our mascot Shelby the Bear and members of our community on hand to make sure your toy finds its way to a grateful child’s hands.”

The Car Show will feature five judged classic cars, including trophies for:
Super Car, Sports & Exotics: 1985-2019;
Import Sports & Classic Classes: through 1965 and 1966 to 1984;
American Icons Classes: through 1965 and 1966 to 1984; and
Best in Show and Additional Sponsor’s Choice Trophies.

Space is limited to 150 cars, so anyone interested in participating is urged to pre-register. To save a space for the event, email Scafario at chris@highoctanesj.com.

Registration is $20 on the day of the event, and will take place at Chester Avenue and Main Street between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Trophies will be awarded at 3 p.m.

The Autumn in Moorestown Fine Arts and Crafts Festival takes place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Community House. It will have food vendors, crafters with homemade goods, art vendors, food trucks, two bands, other entertainment, craft beer vendors and wine vendors. Main Street will be closed to car traffic from Chester Avenue to Church Street for this event.

The event will take place rain or shine, and registration is open until Oct. 1. Event fee is $100 for all vendors. Food vendors must email the Event Admin at aim@moorestownbusiness.com. For more information, visit events.moorestownbusiness.com.

High Octane South Jersey also holds collections at its weekly Cars & Coffee meets in Mount Laurel at the Aloft Hotel. All are welcome to stop by and check them out on Saturday mornings between 8:30 and 11 a.m.

“Our goal is to present 7,000 toys to Deborah and Pinelands on the morning of December 7, 2019 when High Octane gathers together with Frosty the Snowman, Mr.&Mrs. Claus and over 150 classic, sports and super cars for our 7th Annual Holiday Breakfast and Santa Claus Rally that will be staging from the Flying W in Medford,” Scafario said.
