A vast array of classic automotives will adorn the grounds of the Bayou Plaquemine Waterfront Park on Saturday, April 26, for the 28th annual St. Jude Car Show.
The show runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The annual St. Jude Car Show in Plaquemine has showcased classic cars, particularly Corvettes, since its inception in 1998, and last year’s event marked a milestone.
The 26th annual show last year put the event over the top in donations.
The contributions from participants and other donors put the event over the $1 million mark in donations for the St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
The show was the brainchild of the late Joe and Fay Colletti, members of the Baton Rouge Corvette Club and enthusiasts of the iconic Chevrolet model, which first rolled into showrooms in 1954.
Hundreds of raffle tickets were sold, and every cent of the event goes to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
In the process, the St. Jude Corvette Show has made the Baton Rouge Corvette Club the largest donating car club in America that supports St. Jude.
Don Zuelke was the top winner at last year’s event. He won Best of Show for his 1948 Ford Thames, a rare model that was manufactured in an assembly plant in Great Britain.
