Frequently Asked Questions

The Canon Car Club is a group of individuals who share a passion for cars and often come together to participate in events and activities related to cars, such as car shows, track days, and road trips.

For over 40 years, the Canon Car Club has hosted an annual Car Show, we usually attend and support other local car shows, we typically do a couple weekend road trips to special sites and/or events.  Along with the car show, the Canon Car Club also hosts a pre-event picnic open to all participants.  While the car show is typically the highlight of our year, our annual Christmas party is a close second!

Absolutely YES!  One of the joys of the Canon Car Club is to share our love of cars and to share them (and our collective knowledge) with other members of the club.

It depends on the event.  The entire family is most definitely welcome and invited to our annual Car Show and Picnic.  While children are not specifically disallowed at our travel events or club meetings, these do tend to be adult events

The Canon Car Club itself does not own either tools or a shop.  That said, the members have access to almost any tool one might need and are often quite generous either loaning out or helping with tools.

If you have a suggestion for a new event for the club, an outside event to attend or great idea for a road trip, please Contact Us.  All suggestions are delivered to the site webmaster, Canon Car Club president and Canon Car Club Car Show coordinator.
