First car show -- advice??

Three things I can add here.

1) When my son was 4 or 5, we (the boy, wifey & I) went to a Father's Day car show and a fellow with a gold 66 or 67 Chevelle had the boy sit in the driver's seat and the man had brought an old open face race helmet for kids to wear. The man's wife took a picture & mailed us a copy (tells you how long ago this was). My son fondly remembers that to this day (he's 35). So there's that.

2) I've been to 2 shows in my lifetime that had a 'Don't Judge Me!" section where folks who wanted to support whatever the event was for but not deal with the chirping of the trailer queen crowd could make the best of both worlds. I wish more shows would adopt a similar category.

3) Rather than an Eazy-Up canopy, consider a broad brimmed straw hat. I've also hit up the thrift stores for lightweight long-sleeved shirts & khaki trousers if direct sun might be a problem. Skin cancer is a real thing. DAMHIK.

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders (afterall you did buy a Mopar!) so I have no worries you'll be just fine. As at least one other person has mentioned, you'll owe the significant other a nice dinner out for their patience - maybe on the way home from the show. Check back in and let us know how it went.
