The Fall Finale Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show at Town Park in Point Lookout hosted by the Town of Hempstead closed out the car show season in style on Sept. 28.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., spectators packed the grounds to admire an array of custom cars, motorcycles, and trucks. Gates opened early at 7 a.m., and by mid-morning the venue was filled with polished chrome, revving engines, and classic designs.
The event featured competitively judged entries, live entertainment, vendors, and a lively kids zone. Attendees also enjoyed the beer garden, “touch-a-truck” experiences, and displays of iconic movie cars. For many, one of the highlights was the chance to meet and greet well-known builders, including Martin Bros Customs, Count’s Kustoms, and Bill Carlton.
This year’s show also expanded to include a Tow Truck Show, drawing interest from industry professionals and families alike.
Spectators turned out in droves, taking advantage of free admission and ample parking. Vehicle owners who registered in advance paid $25, while day-of registration was $30.
John Ferretti, who was appointed Town of Hempstead supervisor, and other officials were on hand to welcome residents, celebrating both the impressive vehicles and the community spirit that carried the event.
With fall leaves as the backdrop, the Fall Finale served as the perfect capstone to the season, bringing together car lovers, families, and vendors for a day of horsepower and hometown pride.
