CAR SHOWS

Every Wednesday during the summer till after Labor Day our Legion Post has a Classic Car Show in downtown Carthage.  All Proceeds raised from 50-50 raffles, sales, concessions go to the American Legion Scholorship Fund whereby we give out 5 $500.00 dollar scholorships, we have have been doing these car shows for a few years and have raised about $30,000 dollars.
Our prizes are all donated by manufacturers such as hats, car wax, polishing cloths and everything associated with classic or antique cars.
