Heavenly Village Days on Labor Day Car Show

South Lake Tahoe, CA

Before summer segues to fall, Tahoe South will celebrate a Labor Day last call: an amped-up holiday weekend of non-stop activities on and off the water including the Heavenly Village Days on Labor Day Car Show.

 

August 30 – September 2, 2019, Heavenly Village Days on Labor Day Car Show. Sidewalk sale, trophies, poker run, $40 show.  Open to all cars, trucks, and motorcycles.  Brought to you by Good Samaritans Safe Ride.

 

The International Good Samaritans Safe Ride Program (a big name idea in a small town) was started to provide teams of sober designated drivers to be on call by beepers (all we had then) to respond to any calls from intoxicated drivers, their friends, or the bartenders who didn’t want their customers to drink and then drive themselves home.

 

In order to keep these safe rides free, IGS decided to host an annual fundraiser based on the 50’s lifestyle and 50’s cars and call it Cool September Days Car, Truck, Motorcycle, and Vintage Camper Show. Along with an old car show, IGS would put on a 50’s style Sock Hop with dance, dress-up, and hairdo contests and at midnight at the Hop as a grand prize IGS would give away a locally donated and restored old car on a $1 raffle ticket.  More info
