The Palo Alto Host Lions Club and the Palo Alto Lions Charities, Inc. present the 46th Annual Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance

The weekend charity event kicks off with "The Drive" on June 23rd at 1:00 p.m. The open road drive winds the beautiful coastal back roads of the San Francisco Peninsula to the Pacific Coast and returns to the Concours field in time for a sumptuous dinner served in the Patrons Pavilion at 5:30 p.m.

The American Marque of the main event on Sunday, June 24th is the Chrysler Corporation presenting: Desoto, Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler.

The European Marque is Fiat Corporation featuring Fiat, Maserati, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo.

Car owners from all over the Bay Area and across the country have registered their cars to be either judged, or displayed for exhibit. Car registrations to date include a, 1957 Ferrari Gatto, 1937 Rolls Royce 25/30, 1937 Chrysler Imperial and a first time showing of a 1920 Yellow and Black Elcar Sportster.

Looking for rare and unusual classic cars... Registration closes on April 15, 2012 and review and selection starts on April 16, 2012. Registrations received after the 16th will be considered on an individual basis.

With over 300 cars on display, a wide range of special exhibits, vendors, food court, and entertainment, the event promises to provide an outstanding family outing for everyone.

This always unique event provides not only a glimpse into the past present and future of automotive evolution, but an exciting day of fun and discovery for all.

The Concours' featured charity is Canine Champions for Independence.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
