L-W East to host car show

A collection of cars from the various decades will be on display Friday, May 16, at Lincoln-Way East High School.

The school’s Skills USA chapter is organizing the event, which gives students a chance to see a selection of automotive art and history.

“The cars mostly belong to students or their parents,” said Dylan Burgett, a career and technical education teacher at the school. “But anybody is welcome to participate in the show.”

A few teachers, including Burgett, plan to bring their own cars to the show. Community members also are encouraged to bring their cars to the show.

Everyone who participates, except for the teachers, will be eligible for prizes that will be handed out at the end of the day.

About 20 cars in all are expected to participate in the show from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. The cars will be parked in the lot between the school’s auto shop and tennis courts.

All Lincoln-Way East students will have an opportunity to view the cars and vote for their favorite during their advisory/study hall classes, said Burgett. Some teachers may also choose to take select classes out to view the cars when it fits their schedule or curriculum, he added.

Spectators will be asked to vote for their favorite car.

Whoever receives the mot votes will receive a car detailing kit. Prizes also will be awarded to the second- and third-place winners.

Each participant paid $5 to enter the show, said Burgett. Proceeds will be benefit the Lincoln-Way East Skills USA chapter, which partners with industry to ensure America has a skilled work force.
