A very Successful Prospect CT Car Show and Sock Hop

The weather was perfect and the people of Prospect CT as well as neighboring towns came out for an Old Fashioned car show and Sock Hop. 2 bands played all afternoon as well as a DJ during breaks. The sounds were of the 50's and 60's and from appearances, those trying to dance were well past their 50's at the very least.

 

The cars were of all types and vintages as well as commercial vehicles, fire engines and military vehicles. There was something for everyone and all seemed to be having a great time as well.

 

 

School starts up this week for many area towns, and all will at least have the memory of a great party on the town green in Prospect CT.

Good Morning Ed: Most of the owners of the vintage cars do show great pride with their possession. They are so mint and sparkling.

Ann Hayden, it was a fun afternoon and the people were having a great time.

Praful Thakkar, this was the culmination of a week of back to school activities on that same area for the kids in town.

Winston Heverly, for me it's not a series just what's happening in town.

Joe Petrowsky, there were some great ,machines on display and even an old bus that had lettering on the side as if it were Jackie Gleason's bus from the Honeymooners show. It was in between 2 fire engines and I could not get a good photo.

Maria Racelis, they were shiny and when some of the muscle cars were started noisy as well. As for the shiny, the owners were there to make sure people did not touch them, and they had the dust magnets to keep them clean and I had flashbacks to when I would do the dame and was thankful that I don't go to them any more as a participant

Hi Ed, I remember having sock hops back in school. That was so we didn't damage the nicely finished gym floors.

Debbie Reynolds, that's probably where the phrase started, although not necessarily on your gym floor, or was it?????
