DISCOVER! | AUGUST 13, 2016 Events | 7 KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER Old cars, Old tractors, NEW FUN 32nd Annual Granville Car Show set to take place on Sunday, Aug. 21 The 32nd annual Granville Car Show on Sunday, Aug. 21, is about so much more than just cars. According to the event’s founder, Danny Niichel, the event has grown since its inception 32 years ago. “There was a church picnic at St. Joseph’s Church every year and they wanted to do something to go along with it and I’ve always loved going to car shows. I thought the two would go really well together,” Niichel said. He went to a meeting at the church and presented the idea to the board. They loved the idea and wanted Niichel to head up the car show. He was the chairman of the car show for a number of years and he’s still involved with planning and promoting the show every year. It’s grown since the event started more than three decades ago and Niichel says that there is plenty of fun to be had for the whole family. “It’s like a little fair. There’s all kinds of activities going on with it, which makes it so nice. People return year after year because they say that there is fun stuff for the kids to do,” Nichel said. The event is held on the church grounds and is packed with lots to look at and lots to do. It kicks off at 10 a.m. with registration for vehicles being entered in the car show on Sunday, Aug. 21. The event is free to those who want to come and see the cars and participate in the activities. Starting at noon there will be an auction of new and used items that have been donated for the cause of raising money for the school, according to Niichel. The auction usually lasts a couple of hours and there are all kinds of items up for bid. For entertaining the kiddos, there’s a kids pedal pull and lots of kids games. There’s also a lunch stand, where people can grab some lunch or some yummy snacks. For the car lovers, there will be cars and much more to see. “The most entries we’ve had for the car show has been 181. The last three years though, it’s been more in the 140s,” Niichel said. The cars have to be registered and all will be entered into the contest. Awards and trophies will be given for a number of different categories at the end of the afternoon. In addition to the large number of cars that will be at the event, there will also be some other antique vehicles that people will be able to check out at the Granville Car Show. “We have farm tractors and motorcycles, too,” Niichel said. “About five years after we started the shows, some farmers thought it’d be nice if there were some tractors, too, so now we’re up to three tractor classes.” In general, the more things there are to do and look at, the more people will be interested, Niichel said. “With all the different things going on there’s plenty to do and plenty to look at. There should be something for just about everybody,” Niichel said. F At a Glance: WHAT: 32nd Granville Car Show WHERE: Granville, IA WHEN: Sunday, Aug. 21 COST: Free to attend Granville | Iowa
