Car Show for Cancer: Fourteenth Annual KiddeFenwal Car Show, Sept. 12

September has arrived, and KiddeFenwal is well prepared for its annual Car Show. The show will take place on its spacious grounds at 400 Main Street in Ashland on Sept. 12, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event, which is in its 14th year, is held to raise funds for cancer research.

“Last year the show attracted over 350 cars and over 900 spectators, our largest turnout to date, and I fully expect to beat that record this year,” said Peter Kamitian, show organizer.

KiddeFenwal, which has produced fire detection, suppression and temperature control equipment for commercial and industrial applications in Ashland since the mid-80’s, is well known for giving back to the community by lending its fields to many of the town's local youth programs. Over the years, its Relay for Life Team has raised over $300K throughout the years.

“Car owners and spectators get hooked when they come to our show for the first time, with all types of cars, trucks, and motorcycles dating from the early 1900’s to the latest Lamborghini, all in a family-friendly environment,” said Peter Kamitian. “Attendees will be entertained by music from Jack Leduc, longtime show supporter! and breakfast and lunch will be available from the Ashland Lions and, of course, the Refreshing Concessions ice cream truck! There is something for everyone.”

Over 100 trophies/awards will be given out to award-winning vehicles, thanks in part to the many Show sponsors.

“I cannot thank our show sponsors enough, as well as all the people who have attended the show in the past and have donated money to the Cause. We are making a difference,” added Peter.
