HOT AUGUST NILES CAR SHOW |
|
|
On Sunday, Aug. 8, Hot August Niles stood true to its name and set Niles on fire as some of the most beautiful cars on earth showed up in town. With a swagger in their roll and a pride reflecting in their shiny hoods, 400+ vehicles slowly rolled into Niles to make it one of the largest car shows in the history of Hot August Niles. Vehicles from all Makes and Models, all the way from 1929 Ford Model A to the latest 2020 Lotus Evora GT, descended on Niles to provide entertainment to the young and the grown-ups alike. With Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, White, Silver, Green, Orange, Burgundy, Purple, and all the other colors of the rainbow, Niles Blvd. looked like a mile-long candy store and every person looked like a kid in the candy store, ogling at the ins and the outs, the front and the rear, the tops and the topless with kid-like amazement and curiosity. Businesses were packed with masked customers as the visitors explored the stores and eateries. It was a Disneyland of sorts for the pro and amateur photographers as they tried to capture the colors and views at every nook and corner. Firemen from Fremont Fire sold hot dogs for a fundraiser, Fremont Police were present for security, Warm weather, beautiful views, friendly neighbors and volunteers, and excited kids made for a great day to be in Niles. All in a all it was a spectacular show put together by a handful of dedicated volunteers from NMSA. A special shout out to Gary Mills who has been organizing this event for last two decades! Congratulations to the following winners! Lori Randall - 1948 Buick, Best Paint Jose Ortiz - 1941Chevy, Best White Walls James Rodriguez - 1965 Chevy Suburban, Overall Judges' Choice Jorge Garcia - 1968 Chevy Impala SS, 1970s & older Judges' Choice Jim Silva - 1955 Chevy Pickup, Best Pickup Van Manuel Padilla - 1996 Chevy, 1970s & newer Judges' Choice Melissa Cervanter - 1964 Chevy Impala, Chick Magnet Robert Zavala - 1947 Ford, Best Two Door Deno Hendricks - 1934 Ford, Best Engine Nancy Jimenez - 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster, Best Convertible |

A MESSAGE FROM STOPWASTE.ORG
As food businesses in Alameda County are reopening and rebuilding their operations, they no longer need to rely on disposable cups, plates, utensils and other food service items to keep customers and staff safe. Consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local health authorities are explicitly allowing reusable foodware when properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized. In addition to reducing costs, reusable foodware also cuts waste, prevents litter, and improves diner experience. For detailed guidance on reusable foodware, as well as related resources including funding assistance and technical support, download StopWaste’s Reusable Foodware Guide developed in consultation with the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health.. |
