The weather last Saturday, Sept. 24, played a role in increased participation in the annual Car and Motorcycle Show at Tioga Downs Casino in Nichols, N.Y. According to Alison Meyer, one of the organizers from Tioga Downs, close to 300 cars and motorcycles registered for this year’s show.
New this year was the inclusion of a motorcycle show, which was highlighted by a fundraising effort – Christmas for Kids.
Rhonda’s Rockabilly Pinup’s were a favorite at this year’s car and motorcycle show.
This annual holiday giving event is hosted by the Binghamton Harley Owners Group (HOG). The ride, which departed from Southern Tier Harley Davidson located on Front Street in Binghamton, N.Y., welcomed riders on an escort to the show at Tioga Downs.
The registration fee collected for the ride will benefit the Christmas for Kids effort, which supplies toys to children in need in Broome County. Also, at the car and motorcycle show, voting, for a cost of $1, also benefited the efforts of the group.
Paul Teutul Jr. signed autographs from 1 to 3 p.m. at the year’s car and motorcycle show.
Also, this year, motorcycles met up with the cars that rallied for the annual “Get Your Kicks on Route 96”, which departs from the Owego Soft Serve on Route 96.
Meeting up at Hickories Park to head to Tioga Downs last Saturday, all of those participating in the escorted ride had an opportunity to register for the show.
The “Get Your Kicks on Route 96” effort welcomed close to a dozen old cars for the rally, and the HOG club welcomed close to 100 riders.
Tioga Downs’ Car and Motorcycle Show had a great turnout.
Rhonda’s Rockabilly Pinup’s, who take car enthusiasts a step back in time with their vintage style, were also available at both the car and motorcycle show for photo opportunities, as well as at the Owego Soft Serve on Saturday morning.
At the show, a representative of Auto Roundup Magazine greeted guests as they entered the venue. The magazine featured last year’s show in their best of car shows edition, and will feature this year’s show as well.

Special to the event this year was a visit by Paul Teutul Jr., one of the stars of the American reality television series American Chopper and co-founder of Orange County Choppers with his father, Paul Teutul, Sr. Teutul was the chief designer and fabricator of OCC.
Teutul, who brought two of his choppers with him to the show, to include the Black Widow, signed autographs and welcomed photo opportunities between 1 and 3 p.m.
Also at the show were a variety of vendors, and live entertainment by Lando on Fire.
The event was sponsored by Southern Tier Harley Davidson and the Williams Auto Group.
