Car show, pet adoption available at family-friendly event

 

TRYON—The Wheels for Whiskers Festival is set to return on Saturday, April 19 at Foothills Equestrian Nature Center. This car, truck and bike show is designed to benefit the Foothills Humane Society and promises a day of fun-filled activities for automobile enthusiasts and animal lovers alike.

The festival is a family event and free for all spectators. Attendees can admire various cars, trucks, and motorcycles, with live music, multiple vendors, delicious food options, and engaging raffles featuring exciting prizes.

One of the event highlights will be the opportunity for attendees to vote for their favorite vehicles. Awards will be presented towards the show’s end, with trophies to the winners in each category.

Registration will be available on-site for $25 on the day of the show for those looking to showcase their vehicles. Participants can enjoy the thrill of competition and voted favorites will receive special recognition.

In addition to the cars, the festival will feature food trucks, entertainment from DJ Johnnie Adkins, basket raffles, and a 50/50 drawing. Demos will take place throughout the event, and adoptable dogs looking for their forever homes will be present.

A dog training exhibit will also offer valuable insights for pet owners and prospective adopters. The event aims not just to celebrate beautiful cars, trucks, and bikes but also to raise awareness for animal adoption and training.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at FENCE located at 3381 Hunting Country Rd. in Tryon.
