Glitzy show attracts car nuts to Tubac

Green Valley News

The 14th Annual Santa Cruz Valley Car Nuts’ Collector Car Show was one of the most popular events Saturday as hordes of car enthusiasts turned out under sunny skies at the Tubac Golf Resort to view more than 500 vehicles, including antique cars, street rods, motorcycles and trucks.

Participants came from all over Arizona and as far away as California, New Mexico and Colorado, to enter their cars in the event for prizes in 22 different classes of vehicles.

Proceeds from the 2008 show will be used for college scholarships, the Grad Nite Car, and other school-related activities. Each year, the Car Nuts donate a vehicle that is given away to one lucky graduating Sahuarita High School senior.

Other charities that receive money from the event include the Amado Community Food Bank, Hands of a Friend in Green Valley and other social service groups in Nogales and Tucson.
