Central County Occupational Center to Hold 7th Annual Custom & Classic Car Show Benefit
Central County Occupational Center will host its Seventh Annual Custom and Classic Car Show benefiting CCOC’s SkillsUSA Club on May 14 from 5-8:30 pm, at 760 Hillsdale Avenue, San Jose.
A $15 tax deductible donation/fee is all it takes to exhibit a custom, classic or vintage car, truck, motorcycle or bicycle in the CCOC auto show. All proceeds will go directly to support students competing in SkillsUSA regional, state and national competitions. This year, five CCOC students will attend the SkillsUSA National Competition in Kansas City in June. Recently 34 students competed in the SkillsUSA state competition, taking home more than $70,000 in scholarships.
Call Instructor Robert McTaggart at (408) 723-6563 or email mtaggart@metroed.net to register as an exhibitor. Exhibitors will also receive one free meal. In 2009, more than 1,000 spectators came to see 256 entries in the annual event. Spaghetti, hotdogs, and soft drinks will be available for purchase by spectators. Spectators’ admission to the car show is free. No pets please.
