Saturday, July 10th, 2010
9AM – 4PM

 Classic cars at a historic site!  Enjoy the beautiful grounds, grassy areas, shade trees and relaxing atmosphere.

Pristine, vintage vehicles show off again this year under our big old shade trees.  Last year’s car show was a great success.  Over 180 beautiful cars and trucks were on display for the public to enjoy.  Visitors were even treated to an original World War II Duck that stormed the beach at Normandy.

The Country Flea Market opens at 9am with a wide selection of goods from live plants to gently used attic treasures.   You’re going to get hungry so grab some food and beverages and take them over to the picnic tables, gazebo or into the air-conditioned barn and relax here on the plantation.

This year, the pasture next to the Cultural Arts Center is a spectacle of antique tractors .   It’s a fitting display for the historic peanut plantation and a treat for farm fans.   Paying a mid-year visit  from Poplar Grove’s Halloween Festival, for tune tellers Madame von Sloopenstein and Madam Deborah will be in their cabins reading palms and tarot cards.  

With all the shade trees at Poplar Grove it can still be pretty hot in July.  To cool off, there’s an ice cream parlor serving cones and sundaes in the air-conditioned barn.  It’s a great place to rest your feet and enjoy the oldies .   You can pick up a snack or lunch at one of the food booths, and then people-watch from a picnic table .

Admission is free.  Donations to the non-profit Poplar Grove foundation or the Hampstead Fire Department are appreciated.  Proceeds from the 50/50 raffle benefit the foundation .   

Vehicles from 1985 and older may pre-register up until June 30th for $20 after that registration is $25.  Registration 8AM – 12 Noon.  Judging begins 9:00.  Awards at 3 PM.  Flea Market Vendors space $30.  Rain or Shine. 

The historic plantation is located at 10200 US Highway 17 north at the New Hanover – Pender County line.  Sandy beaches, wonderful restaurants, great shopping, attractions and accommodations are only minutes away. Come on out to the plantation on Saturday, July 10th for a stroll down memory lane .  

Come join us for a stroll down memory lane and get up close to the grand display of magnificent cars and trucks.  Enter your 1950 or older vehicle and perhaps you’ll win a terrific trophy.   If you don’t have a lil’ deuce coupe, you can still enter the 50/50 raffle.  Mark your calendar for classic cars, music, food, shopping and fun on Saturday, July 10th.
