Car Show Organizers Planning Rock and Roll Weekend August 28th at Pipestem Resort State Park

            Oldie Rock and Roll Weekend at Pipestem Resort State Park is months away, but organizers of the car and motorcycle show are getting an early start on planning. August 28th promises to be a great end-of-summer fun.

            Two special events occur on the fourth Saturday in August according to Shirley Martin, Pipestem special events coordinator “The Oldies Rock and Roll Weekend Car and Motorcycle Show during the day and our last amphitheater show for the summer is in the evening. The day also includes crafts, food, and entertainment. If you plan to enter a classic, street rod or motorcycle, organizational plans are being made now.”

The Car and Motorcycle Show

            Produced by A&R Productions, this show features more than 300 antique, street rods, classics, customs, muscle cards, pro-street, trucks, motorcycles and special interest vehicles.  The actual show is open to the public at no cost from around 9 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. An owner wanting to enter a vehicle or bike in the show is encouraged to register. There is a $15 vehicle/bike entry fee. Awards will be presented to the top 100 plus several specialty awards and dash plaques to the first 200 entries.  Motorcycles are judged separately. Contact Myron Anderson at 304-425-7420 for entry details.

Rock and Roll Evening

            “Rick K and the Allnighters” rock the amphitheater stage at Pipestem beginning at 8 p.m.  One of the most exciting performers on the music scene today, native West Virginian Rick K shares his enthusiasm and love of music with an ever-growing audience across the country. A distinctive vocal style and charismatic stage presence have earned Rick K and his band rave reviews at major fairs, casinos, and clubs. Rick K’s grandmother, an accomplished gospel and jazz pianist, and his father, a drummer, paved the way for this rock ’n’ roll band’s energized leader.  The admission for the amphitheater show is $10 per person. Advance ticket sales are $8 and available at Pipestem Resort. Children prices are available.

            Pipestem Resort State Park is open year-round and features lodges, cabins, and campground facilities.  The summer amphitheater series debuts Memorial Day Weekend and ends the summer season on Rock and Roll Weekend.  For more information about Pipestem Resort and special events, call 304-466-1800 or visit online at www.pipestemresort.com.
