If you like really cool cars, then you need to visit Hahira this weekend when the city hosts its first annual Cool Car Show. It’s an all day event, culminating in a parade Saturday afternoon at 5 p.m.

The day begins with a Farmer’s Market at the Red Caboose on Main Street at 8 a.m., followed by a display starting at 10 a.m. of cars, trucks, tractors, bikes, etc. with prizes given in a lot of unique categories, including highest odometer reading and farthest traveler. That last one should be a cinch for any military member who’s taken their car overseas with them.

The winners will be announced at 4 p.m. at the caboose, and the winners get to ride in the front of the parade down Main Street.

Plus, there’ll be lots of live music and entertainment, including a Sock Hop at 6 p.m. after the parade in the City Hall parking lot. You can come dressed in your favorite 50s or 60s outfit, or your favorite ‘09 outfit, but however you dress, come prepared to dance!

Hahira has some pretty cool events, and the next one, which is right around the corner, is the Honey Bee Festival, which is always the first weekend in October.

Buzz on up to Hahira Saturday, enjoy a festive, fun filled day, journey back in time, and dance your bobby socks off.

Motorcycle Mania hits the Scene

Ridin’ around with the wind in your face, the open road stretching before you, on your favorite Hog — according to motorcycle enthusiasts, it doesn’t get much better than that.

The September issue of the Valdosta Scene takes a look at the popularity of riding, along with some rides and rallies coming up, and some folks who were very happy to share their enthusiasm with us.

The magazine also features some very interesting Grave Stories, a look at the Loft at City Market, and a heartwarming story on the rescue and rehabilitation of Sammie the dog, and of course, a whole lot more.

You can find the Scene here at our office on Troup Street or at Books-A-Million.
