Shelton Historical Society to host 19th annual classic car show on Father's Day

SHELTON - The Shelton Historical Society will hold its 19^th annual Vintage Vehicles Antique & Classic Car Show June 18 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at its Shelton History Center complex, 70 Ripton Road. 

For some, this unique car show has become a tradition to enjoy with their dads and grandfathers on Father’s Day. 

Visitors admire cars they remember from decades past, from the earliest Model T’s to 1970 and 80s high performance muscle cars.  Owners of these automobiles generously share their expertise and stories with spectators as they stroll the shaded grounds with historic buildings as the backdrop. 

Past shows have included everything from tractors to motorcycles to fire trucks. 

Visitors may vote for their favorites and purchase specialties from the grill and other refreshments for breakfast or lunch.  

Admission is $5/person, free for children 12 and under. Owners of antique and classic vehicles of all kinds may register to participate in this special event as they enter the property the day of the show. 

Each entry is $20 and there is no year limit for the cars.  

Proceeds will benefit the programs of the Shelton Historical Society, which includes many family and adult learning opportunities each year along with enrichment programs for students in several grades. 

The non-profit organization’s mission is to “preserve elements of the community’s history in order to create connections between Shelton’s past, present, and future generations through education, maintaining a museum with its collections, and providing a voice in the community regarding matters of historical significance.”

Six historic structures, which will be open for viewing or tours during the show, comprise the Shelton History Center and serve as a museum of the community’s history.

    For more information about the Vintage Vehicles show or the Shelton Historical Society, call 203-925-1803, follow Shelton History Center on Facebook and Instagram, or visit www.sheltonhistory.org.

WPLR's Chaz and AJ will be there to host their epic Classic Car Show!.

We'll have live music by Social Convention, The Elwoods, Morgan Skelly & The Old Crows, kids' activities, Touch-a-Truck and some special surprises up our sleeves. 

All funds raised will support the children and families at the Parent Child Resource Center in Derby.

The need for children's mental health services is greater than ever. 

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our clients significantly. Children and families had to quickly adapt with the sudden changes in our world due to the health crisis.

The Parent Child Resource Center is seeing a lot more children with severe anxiety, isolation and depression. 

From March 2020 through December 2020, our clinicians provided nearly 11,000 telehealth appointments. The solution is to have more access to mental health resources.
