What does the parking situation look like?

Parking for car show participants is on an all concrete surface. Experienced parking volunteers from the Stockers & Streeters car club will be there to assist and direct participating vehicles as the concrete lot fills up. There is an overflow parking lot adjacent to the main concrete lot that is made of gravel. 

Non-participants may park in the gravel parking lot, behind the Loudon Ford building, or in the grassy area behind the gravel lot. Please exercise caution if parking on the side of Bayard Road or in the Heritage Memorial Gardens as these are public spaces. We kindly ask that you do not take up space in True Value’s parking lot so that their patrons have a place to park.
