SUMMARY:Annual Southeastern Autorama -Erwin, TN
DESCRIPTION:Tennessee’s longest-running consecutive car show continu
 es to roll along, as the annual Southeastern Autorama will take place 
 at the Unicoi County High School track Saturday.  Gates will be open f
 rom 7 a.m.-6p.m, and organizers hope the event will offer plenty of ve
 hicles for car enthusiasts to enjoy with everything from early Model A
 ’s to modern vehicles, and also includes muscle cars, hot rods, truc
 ks and motorcycles.  “It’s a good family event,” Southeastern Au
 torama club member Mike McIntosh said. “It’s not only a car show, 
 it’s kind of like a reunion. A lot of these people, you only see the
 m once a year.”  The Southeastern Autorama car show got its start in
  1960 after Conrad Beam, who was the owner of the Big Hat Grill, discu
 ssed ways to draw folks into town with fellow antique car enthusiast J
 im Hobbs. More than five decades later, the show is still going strong
  and McIntosh said its longevity is a source of pride for Southeastern
  Autorama club members.  “We’re honored to be the oldest consecuti
 ve show in the state of Tennessee, and it wouldn’t be that way if it
  wasn’t for the people who were sponsoring us,” McIntosh said. “
 We’ve got some great sponsors. I thank all the people in the past wh
 o have come to our show, the people that have entered, the spectators,
  and especially the sponsors. If it wasn’t for them, we couldn’t d
 onate this money that we raise back to the school system. It just coul
 dn’t be done.”  McIntosh said the club attempts to raise money for
  the Unicoi County school system. This past year, the club gave $500 s
 cholarships to high school students.  Those wishing to have vehicles d
 isplayed at the show may register their vehicles up to the 10 a.m. dea
 dline Saturday. The cost for registering vehicles in the show is $15, 
 and the first 150 people to register vehicles will receive dash plaque
 s. Awards will be given in various vehicles classes, as judged by the 
 Southeastern Autorama club, and the winner of Best of Show will receiv
 e a $100 prize. Door prizes will also be awarded Friday for those regi
 stering vehicles, McIntosh said.  The event will also feature a car co
 rral and swap meet for those wishing to sell vehicles and automotive p
 arts. It will also feature live music, with the Makeshift Band taking 
 the stage Friday at 7:30 p.m., and Tim White and the V.W. Boys perform
 ing at 7 p.m. Saturday.  The admission fee for spectators is $5 for ad
 ults, $3 for children ages 6-12 and free for children less than age 6.
   McIntosh said it’s almost time for organizers to look at how they 
 can keep the event going even longer.  “As soon as this car show’s
  over, we start working on the next year’s,” McIntosh said.  For m
 ore information on the event, call Kenny Loveless at 434-2156, Charlie
  Ervin at 743-7573, Gaylon Foster at 743-4995 or McIntosh at 743-5085.
