It’s been a week since school let out.  The pool is now officially open.  The temperature has been more often on the plus side of 60 than the minus side for a while now.  But for many, the summer can’t really be said to have started until downtown is blocked off for the annual Malad Car Show, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and drawing visitors from far and wide.  

The Car Show is a long-standing tradition, now in its thirty-third year.  While the weather in June isn’t always exactly predicable, it hit the mark just about perfectly over the weekend, staying warm enough to be comfortable, and waiting until the event was pretty much over before it started to sprinkle.

The Show brought many familiar faces into the valley—a lot of the owners make the trek to town every year like clockwork.  And it also saw some new faces, as Mandi Hess took over the role Eric Crowther had become a familiar face in representing the Chamber.

The courtyard near the veterans memorial filled with vendors of different types, including jewelry, crafts, beauty products, and of course, food.  Between the food trucks, the open Legion Hall, classic music and amazing cars, there were something to keep everyone busy on Main Street.

Although the competition was fierce, the following owners were named winners across the
