The Five Town Business Council, a division of the Addison County Chamber of Commerce, and the Bristol Recreation Department hosted the Better L8 than Never Car Show in late September. The event featured more than 100 vehicles—from hot rods to 80-year old classics. In addition, there were several antique snowmobiles displayed. The show featured 27 different categories. The top four awards were:
People’s Choice: Travis Greene, 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
Spectator’s Choice: Greg Vincent, 1969 Pontiac Firebird
Participant’s Choice: Travis Greene, 2006 Chevrolet Kodiak 4500 truck
Best of Show: Kevin Browne and Gary Payne: 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle
The Snake Mountain Cruisers, an Addison County-based car club, did much of the event organization. Several local volunteers, including CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), helped with ticket sales and vehicle parking.
