Hampton Car Show is Sunday
The Hampton Car Show will be held this weekend at Band Shell Park. Last year, a record 225 entries took part in the Hampton Car Show, an event that dates back to the 1980’s. “In 1980 they had it out at the fairgrounds in Hampton and then there was even an indoor show in the convention center at one time and then it became a Main Street Hampton thing for several years we had several committee members on that; Joel Orr and Norm Holm and Mike Holm. And then the committee kind of got burned out and they were going to phase it out. And then fire department took it over for like two years. And then they decided it was going to be a lot of work and was going to kind of let it drop and Norm and I got back talking and said, we can’t let that happen. So we started it back up with Main Street again after that two years. And then that went as far as COVID. And then everything was shut down as everyone knows. And my wife and I decided that we were not shutting it down. And we started with the city and Bill Hittle and his team have been great help with us.”
