Vero Beach, FL …. RIDES, a motorsports and collector event, will provide a close-up look at a blast from the past, present and future. The event, scheduled for Saturday, May 22 was announced by the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce.

The RIDES event will be held at the Indian River County Fairgrounds and will feature exhibits of a wide variety of “RIDES” including categories for antique cars, classics, hot rods, race cars, new cars, trucks, exotic cars and motorcycles. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to earn People’s Choice Awards for individual judging categories based on votes cast by the public.

“RIDES will bring car and motorcycle enthusiasts together for a sensational and exclusive event” stated Beverly Keehner, event organizer. “We are confident the event will draw people from outside our region during an off-season weekend bringing business to area retail, restaurants and hotels.”

The event will provide for a limited number of business exhibits in a designated business trade show area on the grounds. Area car dealers will also have the opportunity to place their new car models on display for the public. In addition to vehicle exhibits and demonstrations, this family oriented event will include a variety of activities for children and live music throughout the day.   

“While there are area car shows and informal car get-togethers, there is no area event like RIDES where all automobiles and motorcycles are brought together with vendors and suppliers” stated Brian Holmes. “This is a first of a kind for Indian River County” he stated.  Holmes is owner of Art of the Line, a local vehicle pinstriping business. Holmes will be among vendors participating at the event and will demonstrate the art of pinstriping.

Space will be limited. Event sponsorships, vehicle exhibit space, and business expo registration is now being reserved. Interested exhibitors, vendors and businesses are encouraged to call Beverly Keehner at the Chamber of Commerce 772-567-3491 for additional information or registration applications and materials.
