Park N Show:

What is Park N Show? Think of it as a Cars and Coffee where people drive in, gather, and admire each other’s cars. Get lined up bright and early with the rest of the participants in the parking lot and when the gates open, drive on in.  Or anytime during the day, you can drive in as well. We do have daily Park N Show awards that are given out, but these are not as detailed and meticulous as the Diamond Awards are judged.  These are picked by our staff, not judges.

***AND AGAIN, THESE AWARDS ARE NOT APART OF THE DIAMOND AWARDS, JUST DAILY BEST OF AWARDS PICKED BY OUR STAFF
