The Christiana Fire Company will present the Cruisin' in Christiana Car Show on Saturday, June 1, on the grounds of the William P. Brinton House, 17 Green St., Christiana. Registration will open at 9 a.m., and the show will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Vehicle owners will be asked to pay a registration fee, with all proceeds benefiting the fire company. Dash plaques will be presented to the first 30 entrants. Those who register in advance will receive a discount. Registration forms are available at the Christiana Borough office, 10 W. Slokom Ave. Same-day registrations will also be accepted.

"All makes and models are welcome. We are talking tractors, rigs and motorcycles - you name it," said Shawnie Betts, who is co-chair of the event along with fire company trustee Brandon Maser.

In addition to the car show, there will be food for sale, including chicken barbecue prepared by fire company members. The Taco RV and Cool Summer Ice Cream food trucks will also be on hand, and music will be provided by The 45 Guy, who will spin vinyl records.

The first Cruisin' in Christiana Car Show was held last fall, but the event fell victim to inclement weather, so organizers decided to change the car show to spring. "We are hoping for better weather, so more people are apt to come out," said Betts, noting that planning for the event has been going on the past six months. "I would love to see 50-plus cars."

Those who attend the show will be asked to vote for their favorite vehicle. There will also be awards in various classes, such as best classic car and best motorcycle. "The community is going to judge. If they come out to see the cars, they will get an entry form to pick the winners," said Betts, noting that Best of Show will awarded in memory of her father, Terry Walker Sr., a car enthusiast.

Cruisin' in Christiana is being held on the same day as Saturday on the Porch, a program presented by the Christiana Historical Society on the first Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon. During the event, attendees may purchase hot coffee, hot tea and sweets and enjoy conversation and musical entertainment. The performer on June 1 will be Phares Blank, who plays accordion music.

In the event of rain, the car show will be held on Saturday, June 8. For more information, visit http://www.facebook.com/christianafirecompany.
