Happy 10th Anniversary of the Smalley-Moen Memorial Car Show! We are all so excited to host you at our event honoring our beloved Kyle & Terry Smalley, and Jerry Moen.

Our event runs from 4:00-8:00pm. Please refrain from arriving earlier than 3:00. Our staff works very hard to map out an efficient parking plan, and that can be very challenging to maintain by accommodating early birds. Please note: arriving early will not get you in the spot you desire. Our protocol parks in order with the flow of traffic. Please be kind to our staff who work tirelessly to maximize space and efficiency to ALL who attend this event. If you are hoping to park by someone, please arrive together. We cannot accommodate spot saving requests unless they arrive back to back. Kindly ask the staff and they will do their best.

With the hot weather forecasted, PLEASE hydrate. We want everyone to stay safe. There is plenty of water available, so if you are in need, please ask for it. First responders will be on site as well in case anyone needs help.

As always, please NO BURNOUTS. I know, I know, we’re the buzz killers. However, for the amount of people and cars involved, it is entirely unsafe and not the appropriate place to spin those tires. If we have problems with this, we will not be able to use this venue in the future. Thank you for understanding!

If you are spectating: it is very encouraged to carpool. Our field has plenty of space for cars to park but congestion gets pretty crazy. Again, be patient with the people standing out in the heat to help you get to the event safely.

That being said, thank you SO much for your support and love to our families and staff. We are so excited to host you. There’s awesome music from Aftershock, Mini donuts from The Donut Stop, and Ice cream floats courtesy of Champagne and Blue jeans. The Buffalo House will have their Outdoor bar and grill to keep you fed and hydrated.

Have fun, be safe, and Enjoy!!!

(PS, we can’t keep up with the scam comments on this page. Once you delete one, two more pop up. Please don’t engage with anyone who requests you to message them to Register, there is NO registration required or entrance fees ever. Please share this post to spread the word!)

Returning to Buffalo House, the 10th Annual Smalley-Moen Memorial Car Show on Wednesday, July 31st. As always, there will be outdoor Food & Beverages available from the wonderful Buffalo House staff, as well as mini donuts, ice cream and more from our awesome vendors. We're also excited to have live music from Aftershock to keep the good vibes going!

Event runs from 4-8pm. If spectating, please consider carpooling. The wonderful humans from the Valley Youth Centers of Duluth will provide a shuttle bus to and from the spectator parking field. As always, please donate them for their time and support!

Please be patient with Car Show Staff as they do their very best to run an organized, inclusive event. Just think, they volunteer their time to stand in the heat to make sure you all have a great time. Thank them for their dedication!

HUGE shout out to our amazing Sponsors who reached out and jumped in to make sure this event could go on. There's so much behind the scenes work and our Sponsors are instrumental in making sure this event can happen at this caliber.

Happy Car Show Day! The Heavens are on our side shining down on us on this beautiful Wednesday (Shoutout to Terry, Kyle, and Jerry!)

If you've never been to our show, we want to highlight a few people/things:

The Valley Youth Center will be providing a shuttle service from spectator parking to the show. We are so excited to have them back to help with this and are very thankful for everything they do for us!

K. Jensen and Grandview Images will be taking photos of the show cars and the spectators capturing all of the excitement and memories! This will be their second year joining us and we couldn't be happier to have them. Make sure to give them a thumbs up and a smile!

If you can, we recommend carpooling/ride sharing as this event tends to get extremely busy with show cars, spectator cars, and people! With that, please be patient with our staff as we are working hard on running a spectacular event.

At the show, we will have water, kettle corn, burgers/brats, drinks, and more! Be sure to stay hydrated - it's a warm one. We will also have live music and an after party, so buckle up for a fun night!

Lastly, thank you all so much for coming out to the 9th Annual Smalley-Moen Memorial Car Show. We are so excited to see you on this extra special day in memory of Terry!

P.S. we have a special surprise for Show Cars that we've been dying to post...stay tuned 🤭😊
