Participants' Choice Car Show

Thanks to Shelton Vineyards, we are privileged to offer one of the most beautiful show locales ever for the Gathering's Participants' Choice Car Show! Stroll around the beautiful grounds of the largest family-owned estate winery in North Carolina, while enjoying the sight of great British cars of all marques! Last year, over 200 cars attended representing over 10 varying marques!

For an additional treat, drop in for a Pairing Wines with Food Seminar or enjoy a winery tour and tasting—all Seminar and tour/tasting participants will receive a special commemorative wine glass.

For lunch, you can bring a picnic or, better yet, sample the wonderful faire offered by Shelton's Harvest Grill Restaurant. The Deli will open at 8 am offering coffee, assorted danishes, cheeses and cheese spreads. Beginning at 11 am, the restaurant will serve its full lunch menu in the dining room and will also offer a carryout service featuring sandwiches, salads, pastries, fruit and cheese selections and cold drinks. In addition, there will also be Box Lunches on site for $10.

Register early and save! All registrations postmarked by March 28, 2008 will save $5 off the weekend or Saturday-only registration fee. Show classes will be determined based upon pre-registration as of March 28, 2008. Three pre-registered cars of one kind are required to establish a class. The number of awards presented in each class will be determined by the number of cars in each class as of March 28, 2008. The first 200 registrants will receive show dash plaques.

Note:  The car show winners will be announced at 3:00 pm Saturday afternoon.
