Central Kentucky Rods and Machines brings its two-day indoor Christmas for Kids car show to Lucas Cartage & Storage, 520 Assembly Drive, in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Nov. 28–29. Cars and trucks are displayed indoors from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Show vehicles may begin arriving Friday, when setup runs from noon to 8 p.m.

Spectators enter with a toy or cash donation, which supports the Christmas for Kids effort to brighten the holiday for children in the community. Show cars pay a $20 entry fee, and each registered vehicle receives a grab bag. In-person security is provided for vehicles left inside overnight.

Sunday opens with a silent auction from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a live auction at 1 p.m. Awards follow the auction and go to the first 100 registered show vehicles.

Raffle tickets cost $1 each, and winners need not be present to win. Prizes include $1,000 cash, a Craftsman 52-inch tool chest and rolling cabinet combo from Lowe’s of Elizabethtown, an SCCY CPX-1CB 9mm 10+1 pistol from Sportsman Rod & Gun, and a full-size homemade quilt made by Evelyn Garrison. The pistol winner must be 21 or older and pass a background check.

Santa Claus and the Grinch arrive at noon Saturday and Sunday. Music plays both days, food is available, and every child receives toys, candy and coloring books. Door prizes are awarded throughout the weekend. Hardin County Honda is a major sponsor. Central Kentucky Rods and Machines Inc. is a 501(c)(3) foundation.
