Route 70 Cruisers and the Mountain Gateway Mopar Association join forces to create a unique, benefit car show on the grounds of beautiful, historic Carson House.  There will be a best of show trophy, drawings for gift baskets and a set of new tires, face painting, bake sale and more!  Event admission is free, however, if you would like to show your car, there is a $15.00 registration fee.  Event proceeds benefit a local scholarship fund, created to honor former McDowell High School student Eleck Hensley.
