Classic Car Nights
(Thu. )Starting June 3, Thursdays at Schuss Village are all about Classic Cruisers and All-American Muscle Cars. Enthusiasts of all ages are invited to come out to Ivan’s Mountainside Grill at Shanty Creek Resorts beginning at 6pm to get lost in a world of sleek paint, polished chrome, and revving engines.
Whether visitors arrive with a car to show or simply to show their enthusiasm, the event is free for all to enjoy. Ivan’s will also be offering Pizza and Pitcher specials for attendees.
Cars on display will compete for the title of “Best Car.” Participants will have an opportunity to cast their vote for the award. Votes will be tallied and the winner announced at 8pm. Prizes for the winning car include a photo display in the entrance at Ivan’s, a gift certificate for free pizza & a pitcher and bragging rights.
On August 26, all of the weekly “Best Car” winners throughout the summer will be entered into a drawing for a one-night stay at Shanty Creek Resorts.
