NORWICH – Muscle cars, street rods, antique and classic cars and military vehicles will swarm to Norwich this weekend as part of the Rolling Antiquers’ 44th Annual Car Show Weekend.

The Rolling Antiquers show will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the Chenango County Fairgrounds. According to Antiquers Vice President Sewain Conklin, Saturday’s show will feature muscle cars and street rods, while Sunday’s show will focus more on the antique and classic automobiles.

“With the economy as it is, we were thinking the show might suffer a bit this year, but early enrollment is actually a little better than last year,” said Conklin. “You never know what the final tally will be until they come through the gate,” Conklin said, explaining that people wishing to display their vehicles can register in advance or at the event, but initial figures show an increased participation for this year.

Advanced registration forms can be found online at http://local.aaca/org/raocc. The cost for early registration is $5. Registration the day of the show will cost $10.

Military displays and antique steam engines from the 1800s will also be on display. In addition to the vehicles, the event includes a flea market with antiques, collectibles and auto parts available. “Many people come to the show and appreciate being able to rummage through the car parts that are available,” Conklin said. Food vendors will also be set up around the fair grounds, including the Rolling Antiquers Food Booth, which has been decorated to look like an old gas station. For the first time ever, the organization has enlisted the help of a caterer for their booth, and according to Conklin, they will be offering more than the traditional fare.
