It is always nice to try something new, but Draggin' Wagons Car Club is going back to what it knows.

After experimenting with a mid-week show last year, the club will hold its annual spring car show on Sunday, May 3, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Honey Brook Food Pantry, 5064 Horseshoe Pike (Route 322), Honey Brook.

"Somebody said we ought to try (a Wednesday)," said Ray Marvin, vice president of the club. "We just thought we'd give that a shot, but our whole desire has been to be back to Sundays. That was the root of what we did when we started having shows."

The show will feature all makes and models of antique, classic and custom vehicles, including muscle cars, antique cars, motorcycles, street rods and trucks.

Those who display their vehicles at the show are asked to make a registration donation, as all proceeds from the show benefit local foundations. Registration will take place on the day of the show. There is no admission fee for spectators, but the club asks that all guests bring nonperishable food donations for the Honey Brook Food Pantry.

At the show, winners will be selected in classes such as Chopped and Dropped, Cool Convertible, Cool Commercial, Cool Custom, Great Graphics, Street Sleeper, Hottest Hod Rod, Cool Coupe and more. Winners will receive a plaque for their accomplishment.

A food truck will be present; non-fried foods like burgers and hot dogs will be available for purchase. For entertainment, a DJ will play a mix of classic and modern tunes.

"It's really a social event where you can look at cars, admire the cars, have lots of conversation and lots of fellowship. Car culture is really a fun culture; people are just friendly and talkative. Stirs up a lot of memories for older people about cars they used to have."

Attendees will also have the opportunity to win gift baskets. Marvin said there will be between 15 and 20 available, and winners for each will be pulled at the end of the show. Registration provides one ticket to enter in a drawing, but additional tickets are purchasable.

Draggin' Wagons holds two annual car shows - one in the spring and another in the fall. The shows typically attract about 50 to 200 cars, depending on the weather; Marvin is hoping to see at least 125 different vehicles this year.

"The last couple years, there's been somebody with a mid-60s Hearse," Marvin said. "I'm a mid 40s guy myself, but there's been some really unique cars. Somebody brought a smart car (last year) that they had all fixed up. I had never seen one of them all kind of customized."

Proceeds from the upcoming event will benefit local charities, including the Honey Brook Food Pantry, Steeple to People Ministries, Good Works Inc. and the Animal Rescue League of Berks County. Marvin said the club usually raises between $1,200 and $1,500 with its spring show.

The club has roughly 60 members who meet on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Honey Brook Lions Club, 14 Mount Pleasant Road, Honey Brook, with the exception of December, when the club holds its annual holiday dinner. At the March meeting, club members nominate and vote on the charitable causes that they will support in the upcoming year.

Membership forms and packets of information about the club will be available at the upcoming show for prospective members; you do not need a classic car to become a member.

"You have a lot of camaraderie," Marvin said. "For the most part, you're just part of a group of people who have a shared love for cars."

The club's fall show will be held on Sunday, Sept. 27, at the same time and location.
