South Salem Concours d’Elegance – Celebrating 20 Years at the Fair!
Sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Goldens Bridge
Are you a car buff? The Fair’s Concours d’Elegance, is a low-key, elegant car show that showcases a wide variety of vehicles from show cars to much-loved weekend cruisers. The show is both a popular event at the Fair and an opportunity for car owners to enjoy the day’s many activities while showcasing their cars in the beautiful soundings of the farm. Awards are given in each of eight categories, courtesy of the sponsor. The first 40 attendees receive dash plates and all cars are roped off. There is no entrance fee, but space is limited. To register your vehicle call 914 763-5402 or email ssalemconcours@optimum.net. (Sponsorship opportunities available).
