Wheels On Werner Allen

Wow! We are overwhelmed by the turnout of support for this event. Folks from all over the state joined us on Friday, September 8th, 2023 for the Wheels on Werner Allen Car Show. 

We knew we were working with a new location and logistics were going to be tricky with narrow roads but Wheels on Werner Allen turned out perfectly.

This is a great start to Fall Fest – when the New London Area Chamber of Commerce, New London Lions Club and the Wolf River Classic Chevy Club invite you to downtown New London on Friday evening for Wheels on Werner Allen. A no fuss, no registration Car Show!

Participants were encouraged to bring a classic vehicle, or one they are particularly proud of, but this show was open to all makes and models. Dash plaques will be given to the first 150 vehicles and event patches to the first 50 motorcycles to enter.  We lost count, but we are certain more than 240 vehicles arrived. Hot rod, classic refurbished vehicles, motorcycles lined Werner Allen from Pine St. to Wolf River Ave with ATV’s parking in the grassy median.

The car show usually runs from 5 – 9 p.m. but we cut it a little short due to lighting issues. Next year, temporary lighting will be placed on the streets.

Spectators enjoyed seeing some great old classics, participated in raffles, and won prizes as Yo DJ Entertainment supplied the tunes. The New London Lions Club served food and beverages all night long in the beer garden area right inside Hatten Park.

 

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we navigated this new location. We learned a lot and will take many new ideas into 2024. Save the Date for September 13th, 2023!
