Genaro Moreno, right, serenades Maria Munoz at last year’s Copper Town Days in San Manuel. He will perform again this year.
The second week in October is almost here and that means it is time to shine up your shoes, as well as your fenders, in preparation for the 7th Annual Copper Town Days celebration and car show brought to you by the Copper Town Association.
Year after year, locals and fun seekers, from near and far, gather together to celebrate the past, present and hopes for the future of the Tri-Community area while taking in some beautiful automotive sites, delightful cuisine and an earful of joyful noise.
This year, there will be 14 categories in the car show, as well as the expected and welcome food, crafts and information booths. Live entertainment will feature Genaro Moreno and the Cardells, aka: Mammoth’s own Mariachi. There will also be games and a jumping castle for the kids.
Proceeds earned from this event will stay local, and be applied to such events as the Elk’s Grad Night, Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas party for the children. Also, there are donations planned for the Tri-Community food bank.
Last year, the communities benefited by a breakfast served at the soccer tournament for the Community Schools, treats for the Rotary Trunk or Treat event, and, the establishment of a YES scholarship to award $50 to an 8th grade boy and girl at Oracle Elementary School and San Manuel Jr/Sr High School to encourage them to continue with their education.
Remember the date: Saturday, Oct. 8, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., for fun with a purpose. Bring your friends and family to make a good day with the Copper Town Association, great cars, food and family fun even better.
