Events in 2012
May 20, 2012 -Antique Car Cruise-In, at the Community  Center. Entertainment, and more! Coming this Sunday.
The Antique “Hot Rod” Car Show is scheduled for May 20th from 9:00am to 3:00pm in the parking lot behind the Pembroke Community Center. For those of you who attended this family fun event last year, you may remember that it was a soggy affair but that did not dampen the enjoyment that was had by all. Hopefully this year the sun will shine (with the exception of the eclipse, of course) and everyone will get to see the spectacle of many fine cars!
A donation is suggested but not required. Though a donation at the door buys you lunch which is being done by the Bryantville Deli. Those choosing not to make a donation will have to pay for anything they want to eat. The event will also feature Prizes, Live entertainment and memorabilia will be available. This will be yet another way for you and your family to join in the fun being planned for the tercentenary. Pembroke is a dynamic town and this event will definitely appeal to those in town who love great old cars as well as those who enjoy having a great time. So mark your calendars for May 20th. Hope to see you all there!
