Celebrate Hatboro's 20th Annual Moonlight Memories Car Show

The Greater Hatboro Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the 20th annual Moonlight Memories Car Show, also known as Hatboro's Classic Car Show. It will be held from 5PM to 10PM, rain or shine, on Saturday, July 28, 2012, in downtown Hatboro. 

The free, family-friendly event will showcase approximately 500 specialty cars and trucks that will motor into Hatboro, and line both sides of York Road at the south end of the borough, from Byberry Avenue to Summit Avenue at the north end.

Car and truck entries will be accepted through Friday, July 27. Registered participants are grouped by class, reviewed by a panel of auto-savvy judges, and then awarded 30 top prizes, as well as additional specialty awards.

In addition to the classic cars and trucks on display, we invite everyone to visit the shops, antique stores and restaurants that comprise this historic and dynamic community," says Joe Tryon.
