The annual Helper Arts Festival Car Show will take place on Thursday, August 18 through Saturday, August 20 in Helper.

Roger Metzger, Event Organizer talked about the details, “Thursday we have a cruise that is going on beginning at Main Street and First West. Part of Main Street will be blocked off for the Gallery Stroll so we are just going to play it by ear, then we will cruise on Main and go on First West and then come back.” The cruise is free to anyone that would like to show off their pride and joy.

Friday evening will be the popular event of the Burn Out contest. It will be held at Helper City Park, with registration to begin at 6:00 pm, with the competition set to start at 7:00 pm.
