Class officers, students, and advisors prepare for Car Show

This year the Freshman and Sophomore classes are teaming up to put together Hamburg’s 3rd Annual Car Show, held on May 18 from 9 am – 1 pm with the rain date being May 25 at the same time. Both classes put a lot of work into putting this show together, and it takes months of preparation in order to ensure that it is successful. The hope in coordinating this is that it will be a great fundraiser for the classes running it, but also just a place where people can get together for a few hours and have a good time.
Class advisor, Mr. Haegele says that three years ago he brought up the idea of a car show to the school, but they said it would have to be run by one of the classes with their advisor. “Eventually the show began being run through the Sophomore class, and I have helped with it since,” he also says, “The property next to Sweet Treats is now a community service center so they may not be able to have their shows anymore.” He believes that the Car Show is usually for the most part successful but that promoting and making people more publicly aware beforehand could be done a little bit better. He also does not know if the show will continue in future years because he will no longer be a class advisor, and that it is just a matter of if the next class will pick it up.
Sophomore and class treasurer, Alexander Devlin, says that he thinks the car show is a nice addition to school events and fundraisers, but that there is a good amount of work that goes into putting it together. He also mentions how his uncle is bringing a 1952 Crosley to the show and that others should also bring cool cars if they have any.
Overall, from year to year the Car Show seems to be generally successful. When putting everything together, there can be ups and downs, but in the end it usually runs pretty smoothly. The turn out success all comes down to promoting, so promote as much as possible so this year’s Car Show can be just as great if not better than the rest, and come out with friends and family to see all the awesome cars, enjoy live entertainment, partake in raffle drawings, and get some food.
