DREAM SHOW
SUNDAY, AUGUST 25
WAS A BLAST AT THE FARMINGTON POLO CLUB, FARMINGTON, CT
What is Dream Show?
Car show doesn’t come close to describing the Dream Show because of the sheer number of remarkable vehicles that drive onto the field. There were a mind-blowing variety of cars, from the early days of motoring to the cutting edge of the latest high performance machines.This year's event was a lot of fun with some truly remarkable cars gathered, including the Land Rovers owned and personally driven by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. And lives transformed as drivers chauffeured Dream Riders along the 17-mile cruise through Farmington.
A big shout out to our judges, who lent their expertise to our judged show, such as Wayne Carini, Brandon Boterf, Joe Fuller, Jeff Demarey, Richard Doucette, as well as Dean and Joe Cusano.At Motorcars Incorporated, the Dream Show is the best part of the long weekend. We’ve been honored to organize this event for 12 years and look forward to the (hard) work all year long.
Now that it's over, we're sharing the results and starting to think about next year! But not before we give a big congratulations to the Hometown Foundation for raising $7 million to support animal welfare, emergency response personnel, individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, major illness or those in need, and our military.
