\"CarThe 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\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

New this year was the inclusion of a motorcycle show, which was highlighted by a fundraising effort \u2013 Christmas for Kids.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Also, this year, motorcycles met up with the cars that rallied for the annual \u201cGet Your Kicks on Route 96\u201d, which departs from the Owego Soft Serve on Route 96.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The \u201cGet Your Kicks on Route 96\u201d effort welcomed close to a dozen old cars for the rally, and the HOG club welcomed close to 100 riders.<\/p>\n

Rhonda\u2019s Rockabilly Pinup\u2019s, 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.<\/p>\n

At the show, a representative of Auto Roundup Magazine greeted guests as they entered the venue. The magazine featured last year\u2019s show in their best of car shows edition, and will feature this year\u2019s show as well.<\/p>\n
