Liberty Street Rods 16th Annual Rod Run
Streetscene Article
The Liberty Street Rods hosted their 16th Annual Rod Run on Sunday, June 26, 2005. The event was held at the Winfield Fire Company Carnival Grounds in Carroll County, Winfield, Maryland on a warm summer day with an excellent showing of street rods, classics, customs, and antiques.
This years event was very successful with 256 registered vehicles. The first 250 cars received club sponsored goodie bags with an assortment of items. Registered entrants were also entitled to a pancake breakfast and fried chicken luncheon that were prepared and served by the Winfield Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary in their air-conditioned hall. Other events included flea market vendors, entertainment, door prizes, 50-50 raffle, and games for the entire family. The Liberty Ladies contributed to the days festivities with a Chinese Auction and drawings for spectacular theme baskets including A Day at the Beach, Pamper Yourself, Picnic Basket, and the Fourth of July. At the awards ceremony, the Club presented 43 plaques sponsored by local businesses.
Each year the club donates the proceeds to various organizations and individuals within the community. This year, charitable contributions were provided to the Winfield Fire Department in recognition of their dedicated service to the community and two scholarship funds for a deserving individual in attendance at the local Carroll County Vocational Technical Center. The Annual Rod Run is one way the Liberty Street Rods Club shows its commitment to the community.
Every year, the Liberty Street Rods Annual Rod Run proves to be an entertaining event for the entire family. The Club members look forward to meeting the car enthusiasts and their families who attend the show. The Club Officers would like to take this opportunity to thank the Winfield Fire Department for providing the site, the Club members and Liberty Street Rod Ladies for all their hard work and dedication, and the car enthusiasts and spectators who participate and make our event a success.
The Liberty Street Rods 17th Annual Rod Run will be held on June 25, 2006 beginning at 9:00 a.m. with the awards presentation starting at 3:00 p.m. The show is open to all 1973 or older street rods, customs, and antiques. The club feels it gives the most back to the participants of any show in the area. This year the participants will receive a pancake breakfast and a fried chicken lunch in an air-conditioned hall (this is contingent on remodeling of the hall which is currently underway); door prizes; game winner prizes; Top 40 awards; a special Truck award; a Best Engine award, and music all day.
