There will be two main categories for this Concours:

• 'Judged Automobiles' which will be parked on the central lawn and will be evaluated by our judging panel.
• 'Display Only' whereby you may park on the adjacent lawn and while your car is not specifically judged, it could still win peoples choice.

Pre-Registration is encouraged as this event is very popular and lawn space can become limited. We also offer a discount for both Judged and Display Only entrants of $10.
