The Cars, Stars & Guitars Annual Motorhead Festival is an event that brings together kindred spirits who have a fascination for gleaming chrome and shapely curves, custom paint jobs and pointy fenders. Owners display their hot-rods, bikes, race cars, and this largely local event benefits local charities and the custom car community. Not only do the gear heads indulge in shop talk, they also swap stories; their first traffic violation, the time they sneaked out in dad's car, the first kiss. With all this nostalgia in the air, the live music and good times at Hooters almost seem like an afterthought. Come to the Cars, Stars & Guitars Annual Motorhead Festival. If not for much, at least for the memories. Review © 2009, Wcities |
