Cars on Campus Car Show

Northwest Georgia, rev up your engines and get ready for the inaugural Cars on Campus Car Show from noon to 3 p.m.

Free admission to the all-ages event will feature your community’s classic and custom cars, children’s activities and a People’s Choice award for one lucky participant. From classic vintage cars to sleek modern designs, there’s something for everyone to admire and appreciate.

All proceeds from the car show will directly support student scholarships through the GHC Foundation.

“By donating, you’re not only supporting your passion for cars but also investing in the future of education,” Auxiliary Business Analyst Anthony Snyder said. “All proceeds raised will go towards the ‘Ready to Start’ scholarship, providing opportunities for deserving students to achieve their academic goals and pursue their dreams. Your contribution can make a meaningful impact, one student at a time.”

The college has reserved 80 spots for pre-registered vehicles, and any remaining spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis the day of the event.

To ensure a seamless experience for all attendees, we kindly request that registered participants commit to staying from noon to 3 p.m., as the main show lot will be closed off for the duration of the show.
