Kool April Nites

By Melissa Wynn
Spring Fever has given way to March Madness in the Sierra and we are all just about ready for some Kool April Nites.  That’s right, Mountain Valley Neighbors, it’s time once again to put away our snow blowers and break out our Classic Cars. Shine ‘em up and cruise ‘em on down to the Redding Convention Center in Redding, CA April 14-18 to show ‘em off against the best of the  best. Registration is open until April 9th or until 2000 cars are registered. A $40.00 entry fee buys two passes for five days of car displays, the specialty inside show which features one-of-a-kind classic cars, and concerts each night in the “MegaTent”. The concerts feature top-quality entertainment and the regular ticket price is $10 per person per concert. There is plenty of free entertainment outside during the show days. Spectators pay $6 at the gate on Saturday to see the cars and other entertainment. Interested enthusiasts  with a 1979 or older Classic Automobile (sorry, no motorcycles) can register and review rules and regulations at www.koolaprilnites.com.  Raffle tickets for a 350 Chevy engine are also for sale on the website 3 for $5 along with event T-Shirts and Sweat Shirts. The musical entertainment will match the eras of the beautiful rides, so feel free to shake the dust out of your leather jackets and poodle skirts, we just might find our selves doing the twist and reliving our teens. Drag races, great food, music and muscle cars, trophy’s and trucks, big blocks and beer, all the ingredients for some good old country boy fun. Polish your Porches, Tune up your T-Birds, Buff your Barracudas and Shine your Shelbys, let’s see what’s still hot in 2010 at Kool April Nights.
