Despite the show being officially only four hours long, several cars drove-in from Blackfoot and Idaho Falls, at least one driving from as far as Burley (79 HWY miles one way)!

Car show walk-about part-D:

So many cars showed up at the Inaugural Veterans Memorial Building car show, last year, that the Bannock County Veterans Memorial Association had to ask the City of Pocatello if they could use the adjacent Memorial Park to stage vehicles, this year.

The money raised from the car show goes to maintaining the Bannock County Veterans Memorial Building.  Here’s a quick walk-around the building:

Pine Ridge Mall: Inaugural Summer AutoFest

Summer AutoFest: When does getting a ‘D’ equal getting ‘100’?

In grade school getting a ‘D’ was approaching failure, but not in the kool old-skool system, getting a D could be the same as getting 100!  A 1970 Dodge D100, that is.

Phil Meador inaugural Summer AutoFest, with dozens of show quality vehicles inside the mall, and more vehicles outside the mall. 24th through 25th August 2024, at the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho.

Here’s my D = 100 video:

The event was organized by the Pocatello Car Club, with assistance from the Idaho Classic and Modern Muscle car club.

Professional car painting was available:

A table with some tiny cars.

The show actually started Friday evening. It took at least two hours to stage the vehicles inside the mall, and more would show up on Saturday and Sunday.  Here’s a short example, part-1:

Part-2, things started getting nit-picky:

Outside there were plenty of food trucks.

And there were other vendors.

There were plenty of cars outside, but it felt like some vehicle owners would leave not long after arriving:

While it took about two hours to stage the vehicles, it took less than an hour to make their escape. Part-1 of the shortened video:

17 years of free cars & food?

17th Annual Gate City Real Estate’s Client Appreciation car show and food feed at O.K. Ward Park in Pocatello, Idaho.

I wasn’t expecting so many cars at a free event, but reportedly it is the biggest such event in Bannock County.  Gate City Real Estate also calls this event their ‘company picnic’, yet everybody is invited!

Here is a few of the many cars (pardon my Summer Time Allergies):

Some more cars:

Another sampling:

Free food line.

Even after two hours of checking out the cars, they still had plenty of BBQ:

The sky got smoky from all the wildfires, but it actually made for a cool sunset.

Elegant Living car show & free food!!!

The first day of June 2024, Elegant Residential Living held its Second Annual car show and free barbeque!

The show, shine and then stuff your belly happened in Chubbuck, Idaho, and some guy named Crazy Carl (and mysteriously/unknowingly ‘volunteered’ helpers) cooked up a storm of chicken and ribs! Never mind the cigarette, it just adds more flavor:

Crazy Carl’s cooking was a success, but there were other food & drink items, all for free:

SE Idaho Days: The car-show that almost wasn’t?!

South East Idaho Days at the Bannock County Event Center in Pocatello, Idaho, 03-04MAY2024.  The car show was supposed to be on the 4th.

The cars that showed up on the 4th were literally last second arrivals as, apparently, the festival organizers failed to drive local car enthusiasts to pose at the free event.

The call to action literally went out the day before, from a local car club called Idaho Classics and Modern Muscle (ICAMM).
