Sunday, September 18, 2016

11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

**WEATHER UPDATE** - We're currently watching the weather forecast for Sunday. For now, it looks like we should miss the rain. If a decision is made to move to the rain date of Sunday, Sept. 25, it will be announced Saturday afternoon, Sept. 17.

Pennsauken Township, the Pennsauken-Merchantville Area Chamber of Commerce, and Pinsetter Bar and Bowl present the town’s 24th annual Car, Bike and Craft Show. Held on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., hundreds of antique, classic and custom cars and motorcycles will line up along a stretch of the “Maple Mile” that runs from Canning to Union avenues in Pennsauken, and includes the parking lot for Pinsetter Bar and Bowl, 7111 Maple Ave. The popular craft show, now in its fourth year, continues to grow with 40 vendors anticipated to attend. In addition, the Pennsauken Car, Bike and Craft Show features music, food, and family-friendly entertainment.

“This is a great event that people look forward to every year,” says Elwood “Duke” Martz, head of Pennsauken’s Parks and Recreation Department. “We’re once again hoping for some great fall weather, so that thousands of people can enjoy the many cars and bikes that come to our show each year.”

Year after year, local businesses continue to help make the Pennsauken Car, Bike and Craft Show possible with financial support. The event’s major sponsors are All Around Pennsauken; Arnold's Safe and Lock Company; Beacon Auto and Truck Collision Center; ColorSource; Dunkin' Donuts; Elite Auto Service; ELMCO TWO Inc.; Gaskill Brown Funeral Home; Independent Alarm; Just Plain Silly Entertainment; Marinelli & Associates; McAllister the Service Company; McFarlan's Market; Mesa Signs; Penn Muffler and Brake; Pinsetter Bar and Bowl; Precision Transmissions; Primerica, Ellis and Associates; Rhoads Metal Works; Route 130 Car Wash; Stevens Management Associates; The Quiz Kids; Third Base Sports and Trophies; Tony's Auto Service; Tony's Golden Scissors; and U.S. Auto Auction.

There will be 22 judging classes for cars, from Stock Production to 1953 to All New Cars, 2011 to Present, as well as nine judging classes for motorcycles, from Full Dresser to Antique Bikes.

As attendees enjoy viewing the many cars and bikes on display, they can also enjoy a parking lot full of activity. Pinsetter Bar and Bowl will have set up a barbecue tent with tables and chairs for people to sit, eat, and relax. There will also be some family-friendly entertainment, including bounce houses, balloon twisting, face painting, and disk jockeys spinning both classic and the latest hits.

Each year, every effort is made to reduce the impact on the neighborhoods along Maple Ave. and adjoining streets. Local residents will have access to major throughways and can get in and out of the area during the event. In case of inclement weather, the rain date for the Car, Bike and Craft Show is Sunday, Sept. 25.

Registrations for cars and bikes are being accepted at the Parks and Recreation Department of Pennsauken Township, 6505 North Crescent Blvd., Pennsauken, NJ 08110. You can also download the forms by clicking here.
