Local car and motorcycle enthusiasts will soon have an opportunity to show off their rides while supporting the academic dreams of hundreds of students.

West Hills College’s 2nd annual car show will be held on Sept. 10 at West Hills College Coalinga, with all proceeds benefiting the President’s Scholars Program. The scholarship program provides free tuition and $250 per semester for books to scholarship recipients at WHCC, West Hills College Lemoore and North District Center, Firebaugh.

“This car show is a great way to involve community members in the college and especially in supporting the President’s Scholars program scholarships, which will be awarded to more than 150 students for the fall semester,” said Ken Stoppenbrink, Deputy Chancellor of the West Hills Community College District and event co-chair. “This will be our second annual car show and each year we expect it to grow and bring both more cars and more attendance. We’re expecting KISS Country this year, which will add to the festivities and expanded food selections.”

Registration for the event, which will welcome street rods, hot rods, low riders, stock and modified cars, pick-ups, and motorcycles is $25. Registration will also be available on the day of the show for $30.

Admission for spectators is free and food and beverages will be available. The cars will be displayed along Elm Street in front of the athletic field.
