1 Weekend, 2 Shows

June 4-5, 2022 — A weekend of perfect weather guaranteed success for two popular car shows. First, on Saturday, Goffstown Rotary Club in Goffstown, New Hampshire held its 9th annual show featuring an eclectic collection of cars of all makes and years, classic and custom, both domestic and imported.

With temperature in the low 70s and low humidity, it was far more comfortable than the past two weekends that saw the thermometer soar to an unseasonable 90 with humidity in the oppressive range. We expect this kind of whether in July, but our bodies just weren't ready for it this soon.

Sunday was a carbon copy of Saturday weather-wise for the 12th annual Marlborough Main Street Car Show, held in downtown Marlborough, Massachusetts. Returning after a two-year absence due to COVID, pent-up spectators came out en masse, filling Main Street with a crowd so dense it was difficult to move around. Photography was challenging.

The show in the past had a good mix, but was slightly dominated by customs this year. The classics had a larger share in previous years. Even imports, well-represented in the past, were hard to find. Still, it was worthwhile, always one of my favorite early-season shows, and I expect I'll be there in the future.
