Jul. 22—Classic cars from around the area gathered at Lake Contrary for "That 70's Car Show" hosted by the Knuckle Draggerz Car Club.
The club, based in Maitland, MO, hosts shows around the state of Missouri. Clue owner, Jodie Downs, said they expected anywhere from 150-200 cars at the show.
The event has fun for the whole family. Along with the collection of cars, there were food trucks, vendors, a face painting booth and live music from the Good Sam Club Band.
"It's a great family event," Downs said. "It's got the park to play in. All the cars keep the kids interested."
The show was in the park across the street from the lake, which allowed for all the different vendors, trucks and cars to have plenty of space.
"I've held [shows] here before," Downs said. "I know people with the lake and water. It's always a good partnership with them and makes for a great show."
Downs is a former St. Joseph resident, which he says helped when organizing the event with local vendors.
"It took a lot of planning for this one," Downs said. "Some got a hold of me and some I've known from past shows. They just show up and here we go."
The Knuckle Draggerz club currently doesn't have any more events planned. They say that they try to host a handful of shows in a year if all goes well.
"We normally do our homeshow which is in Maitland, MO," Downs said. "We do four-to-five shows a year. We try to help clubs and people who are starting up. We just like to do this."
