The Moab Rotary Club is kicking off their 23rd annual April Action Car Show Friday with all of the proceeds going toward scholarships for high school and college students.
“The Rotary Club are looking for deserving students who aren’t getting a lot of scholarships everywhere else," said John Fogg, the director of the Moab Rotary Club. "We give out five $1,000 scholarships”
Fogg said there are more people that show up for the show each year than live in Moab.
“We generally get about 400 to 500 cars," Fogg said. "And where we really shine is in spectators. I figure around 8,000 or so spectators that come to see it.”
He said they are adding a sock-hop dance contest with live music, among other events, but the real highlight for car enthusiasts only has two wheels.
“We’ve got a 1928 Harley Davidson original owner," Fogg said. "Bought it from 1928 – it’s completely stock.”
Fogg said, as a result of the car show, more than 52 high school and college students have received scholarships.
