Car Decorating Contest Sponsored by Rhino-Back Roofing

• The car decorating contest is open from 11am-4pm, Oct. 16th and awards are announced at noon, 2pm and 4pm. 
• You can arrive at the event at any time, but you must be present at one of the award times (noon, 2pm or 4pm) to win. 
• Decorated cars will enter the park along with all other attendees via the dirt road at the intersection of Wilcox St and Iron Horse Blvd.  
• When you get to the park you will be directed to the Car Decorating Contest section of the parking lot instead of the regular parking area. 
• There is no entering or exiting from the main park entrance. 
• Once you park in the contest area, you will be given a number to put on your dashboard for the contest sponsor to use when judging. 
• Winners will be announced by contestant number on stage at noon, 2pm and 4pm. 
• There is no set criteria on how your car should be decorated (whole car vs just trunk- all are fine).
• You should arrive with your car completely or mostly decorated, but can add finishing touches after parking.
• Contestants are still responsible for paying admission to the event at the field.
