Piper car show returns on Saturday

The Piper car show will return on Saturday, Sept. 24, after a two-year absence due to COVID.

The Piper Community Festival Car and Truck Show and Shine event will feature cars, trucks and motorcycles on display, said Sean Ziolo, who is working with the car show. It is held in conjunction with the Piper Community Festival on Saturday.

“It feels good, we’re excited,” Ziolo said about the return of the car show. They couldn’t hold the car show in 2020, and in 2021 they had the opportunity but decided not to risk it.

“We’re going to be back, bigger and better,” he said. “We’re looking forward to seeing everybody.”

They’re planning to have 250 to 300 vehicles in the show this year, he added.

Car show registration will be the same day, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday at Piper High School, 4400 N. 107th, Kansas City, Kansas. There will be plenty of parking for trucks and trailers.

There will be a $10 entry fee per vehicle.

More than 60 awards will be given out, and the awards will be presented at 3 p.m. Saturday, he added.

One of the vehicles will be named the principal’s choice pick, and will be featured on next year’s T-shirt and banner for the car show, Ziolo said.

The Piper Community Festival, the same day and place, will start with a pancake breakfast by the Boy Scouts from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday.

A 5k run-walk will start at 8 a.m. Online registration ends Sept. 23 but same-day registration will be available for the 5k. Registration for the 5k will be $25 for 19 and over, $20 for 18 and younger.

A silent auction will be held inside Piper school at the same time as the car show.

Also, a carnival will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be family wristbands for $50 per family, or individual wristbands at $20 per person.

Bingo is planned from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday at the festival, with a value pack offered for $10.

There will be no admission charge to walk through the festival, and food and refreshments will be available.

Proceeds will benefit the Piper Educational Foundation.
