Laconia Rotary Charity Car Show

July 27, 2024 — The Laconia Rotary Club of Laconia, New Hampshire, held its annual charity car show at Weirs Beach in the second weekend in a row of sunny weather. Gone was the stifling humidity and temperatures over 90 of recent weeks. For this show it was in the relatively comfortable 80s with lower humidity.

The show featured a wide variety of interesting vehicles, although I think the numbers were somewhat below recent years. One hundred per cent of the proceeds go to local charities. Spectators pay a modest $5, show car exhibitors have to come up with $25. Seems like an incredible bargain after last week's prices at Misselwood, and I got to sit at a table at 70 Kitchen & Market (which generously made their property available for the show) and lunch was brought to me.

I'm not saying this show is in a class with the Misselwood Concours d'Elegance. It's not. But it draws a mix of high quality cars from Model A days on up and doesn't soak its participants. It doesn't have Misselwood's spectacular views above the Atlantic, but it's within sight of Weirs Beach on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee, one of New Hampshire's most popular tourist attractions.

I ended up with fifty-four photos and two short videos. Make sure your sound is turned on when you play the videos. You may like my taste in musical background, or not. Not everyone does. You can experience it all that this link:
