TIFTON — The 27th Annual Goin’ Hog Wild Car, Truck & Bike Show will cruise into the UGA Tifton Conference Center April 12-13.

The yearly show is put together by the Tiftarea Auto Club.

“We have a group of club members that have been doing this every year,” said Ed Branch, president of the club, in a previous article. “We do this every year because we like to give to charities.”

This year’s event is raising money for Ruth’s Cottage, Relay for Life, The Patticake House and the American Legion.

A barbecue and cruise-in pre-show gets things going Friday night at 6 p.m.

The next day, the competition gets going in earnest.

Registration starts at 9 a.m., with judging 11 a.m. through 1 p.m. and awards announced at 2 p.m.

There are nearly 30 awards this year: The Top 20, highlighting the best 20 cars, and then Special Interest, Best Show Engine, Best Interior, Best Paint, President’s Choice, Best Import, Best of Show, Best Motorcycle and Ladies Choice.

And after 27 years, the interest in classic cars shows no sign of slowing down.

It’s $25 per entry for cars, trucks, motorcycles and vendors. The show is free for the public.
