Peconic Landing's First Car Show Benefits Walk To End Alzheimer's

GREENPORT, NY — Peconic Landing will host its first car show to support the Walk to End Alzheimer's.

The event, featuring classic rides, will take place on Sunday, Aug. 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a rain date of Aug. 19. Cars will be on display beside Brecknock Hall.

The family friendly event will feature specialty cars and models before 1985; a display of more than 50 models will be showcased for all to enjoy, with a food truck, ice cream, and lawn games — including corn hole and a giant Jenga — and a 50/50 on the agenda. A picnic area will be sited under the tent; lawn chairs arewelcome.

Registration is available online here. Cars can also be registered upon arrival the day of the event. Spectators cost $5 and cars cost $15 to register.

All proceeds will support the Alzheimer's Association of Suffolk County’s Walk to End Alzheimer's, organizers said.

“We are excited to welcome you to our community to support a cause close to our hearts. More than five million Americans are living with the disease, many in your own backyard. We couldn’t think of a better way to support this cause than a family friendly event beside Brecknock Hall,” said Gregory J. Garrett, EVP/administrator of health services. “We hope that you will join us in our fight to end Alzheimer’s.”

A panel of Peconic Landing members will help to judge the contest. Prizes will be awarded to cars in categories including "Most Original," "Best Paint," "Best Restoration," "Best in Show" and "Kids' Choice."

An awards ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. on the back steps of Brecknock Hall. The event will end with a car parade around the property and community center.

The Kick Alz Car Show will offer children an opportunity to join a judge as they walk around to cast their vote for the Kids' Choice Award.

Representatives from the Alzheimer's Association of Suffolk County will be in attendance to answer questions and share information about Alzheimer's, including support groups available at Peconic Landing.
