Votes for the People’s Choice Award were done last year by dropping a can or box of non-perishable food into a box in front of each vehicle under consideration.

Classic and exotic cars filled a section of the Stop & Shop parking lot in June 2014. A much larger selection of cars was registered by January for the 2015 show, scheduled for Saturday, June 20. The event will again raise funds and help fill the shelves at FAITH Food Pantry, as well as at least two additional local food pantries.

The event featured a DJ, The Big Beat Band, food, activities for the kids, and dozens of hot rods, classics, customized, and stock vehicles ranging from vintage to a gull wing DeLorean complete with its space age “flux capacitor.” Mr Marcuccio, who has been organizing car shows since 1997 for food pantries in the communities served by his stores, said his event in Newtown raised $10,000 in food and cash donations.
