All British & European Car Day - April 24th, 2006, Dallas, Texas

Join us for our annual celebration of British and European vintage motoring. Bring any British or European car or motorbike, driver or show vehicle over 25 years old to compete for trophies determined by popular voting. This is a fun, family friendly day relaxing at the park, picnicing and visiting with other antique vehicle afficiandos.

This event benefits Shoes for Orphan Souls, a humanitarian outreach program of Buckner Orphan Care International. We’ll be collecting new shoes for orphaned children all around the world. Plus, our proceeds will be going directly to SOS to help cover the cost of shipping containers full of shoes to countries like Russia, Romania, Guatelama, and perhaps Tsunami hit countries. For more information about SOS, visit their website at www.shoesfororphansouls.org.
