FARMER'S MARKET still accepting car show applications

The Taylor Farmer's Market is putting out a call for all classic car owners. Its putting together a car show for Friday, July 24 -- the day before the annual Telegraph Cruise.

The classic car show will be part of the "Christmas in July" theme of the market that day. Our vendors and volunteers will be celebrating the Christmas spirit in the summertime weather (and wearing Santa hats), and the market will also offer some giveaways for children.

The classic car show will be held in front of the Sheridan Center Open Air Pavilion. It will be open to the first 30 cars that register. 

Registration is easy -- just call or email Kimber Dorton at (734) 374-1450 or kdorton@ci.taylor.mi.us. She will get you a registration form. Fee is only $10. 

THEY ARE STILL ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. 

Trophies will go to three honored vehicles. Rick Sollars will hand out the Mayor's Trophy; Thom Oullette will hand out the Market Manager's Trophy. And the third trophy will be awarded by a random visitor to the farmer's market that day. 

Cars will be on display in the parking lot from 1-4 p.m. All cars should arrive by no later than 12:30 p.m.

Trophies will be awarded at 3 p.m.

No car sales are allowed during this event.

So get in the classic car spirit on Telegraph Cruise weekend. If you have a classic car, enter it in the car show. If you are just a car lover, visit the market and kill two birds with one stone. 

As always, the community walk around Heritage Park will begin at 10:30 a.m., starting at the Sheridan Center. The market opens at 11 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. The car show will be held between 1-4 p.m.

(NOTE: In addition that same day, the Corporal Matthew Edwards Legacy Foundation will hold its first ever Hero Run 5K at 7 p.m. in Heritage Park.)
