A professionally judged car show rolls back to Cape Coral next weekend at a popular large outdoor venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Cape Coral Car, Truck, Jeep Show & Swap Meet, put on by Judge\u2019s Car & Truck Shows, is set to take place on\u00a0April 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.\u00a0at the\u00a0German American Social Club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Presented by\u00a0Certified Slings of Fort Myers, this exciting community event will feature more than\u00a0200 vehicles\u00a0on display, ranging from\u00a0classic cars to modern showstoppers, along with live entertainment, food, vendors, and more \u2014 all while raising funds for local charities.<\/p>\n
Judge\u2019s Car & Truck Shows owner Corey Judge said the entity is excited to return to Cape Coral and the GASC grounds after a show that just took place in February. They also held a show in Cape Coral last year that featured nearly 400 vehicles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re hoping for another successful show here,\u201d he said. \u201cOur shows range in class and are all professionally judged and feature trophies. This show will feature more than 140 different trophies in over 50 different classes ranging from classic, vintage vehicles all the way up to modern sports cars. We really cover the gamut. Our events are family-friendly, and car owners can present their vehicles for display-only as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spectator admission is\u00a0$5, making it an affordable day of fun for families and automotive enthusiasts alike. Attendees can enjoy\u00a0live music, German beer,\u00a0and a variety of\u00a0food and merchandise vendors\u00a0throughout the day.<\/p>\n
Vehicle owners are encouraged to participate by registering their cars, trucks, or jeeps in advance.\u00a0Online pre-registration is open until April 16 at 10 a.m., and space is limited. Vehicles can still pay and register day of show, space permitting (onsite registration is 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.). <\/p>\n
This event is part of the Judge\u2019s Car & Truck Shows series, which hosts nearly 40 events each season across Florida, Georgia, and the Southeast. With more than 40 years of combined experience, the Judge\u2019s team is known for its\u00a0professionally judged\u00a0shows and\u00a0high-value trophies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019d love anyone who wants to show off their car or vehicle to come on out because you\u2019re helping support a really great cause,\u201d Judge said. \u201cThat\u2019s the No. 1 thing we always try and promote. Also our shows are about fun. It\u2019s about getting out there, meeting other like-minded people who are enthusiastic about vehicles and having a great time. We\u2019ll have food vendors, music, prizes, and other things going on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each season, Judge\u2019s Car & Truck Shows helps raise more than\u00a0$50,000\u00a0for charities and non-profit organizations, including\u00a0Hearts & Homes for Veterans, the\u00a0Marine Corps League, and the\u00a0Police & Kids Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur season runs September through May, and we raise funds throughout the state of Florida and all the way up to Georgia,\u201d Judge said. \u201cWe work with different nonprofit groups, different churches, different school organizations, even other car clubs that also support different nonprofits. So it\u2019s really a great model to help the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Judge said the GASC grounds make for a great venue for the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great for what we\u2019re going, for a big outdoor event,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re got wonderful outdoor space and stage space for live music and our entertainment. It\u2019s not cramped at all and is a really great environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
