This weekend was the 17th annual Nelson Road Kings car show. It is a two day event on the second weekend in September every year. It starts with a parade on the Friday night, and the main event of the show on Saturday afternoon. The cars that line downtown are pretty spectacular. There are bands playing, lots of prizes, and of course, the air is filled with the smell of food being sold. The patios of local restaurants are packed as well, and the weekend is closed off with a big dance on Saturday night. The car show is a widely attended event that draws out tons of people from all different ages, and walks of life. It has become one of Nelson's highly anticipated premiere events every year. For any information on future events, becoming a member, or photo galleries from years of past, you can find it all on their web-page. Nelson Road Kings P.O.

This car show is one that I really want to see. I am a huge car enthusiast, and believe me, I would really love to go here. I think that people who do not like cars wouldn't enjoy it, though. I will probably enter one of the cars that I own here sometime. I want to be able to go and parade my car and let the world know of how lucky I am, I really do want to do it.
