Your opportunity to be photographed next to giant Caterpillar trucks, and to buy raffle tickets for a chance to ride in them, is coming up next weekend. Itβs part of a car show that benefits the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona.
The 4th Annual Caterpillar Cruising for United Way Car Show will be held Saturday, Aug. 13, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the Caterpillar Tucson Proving Ground, 6000 W. Caterpillar Trail (off West Duval Mine Road) in Green Valley.
Car show registration and staging begins at 7 a.m. in these trophy categories: Best Car Pre-1972, Best Car Post-1971, Best Truck, Best Off Road, Best Import, Best Military and Best Motorcycle. Trophies will also be presented for Peopleβs Choice, Caterpillar Management Pick and United Way Pick.
Early registration is $20; late registration on show day is $25. To register your car, contact Caryl Parker at 648-4674 or parker_caryl@cat.com.
The car show is free to the public; however, donations for activities are requested to support the United Way.
Beginning at 8 a.m., food and beverage booths will be available, along with raffles for Cat Machine rides (for those at 12 or over, wearing closed-toe shoes and long pants, and signing a liability waiver), hourly drawings, hands-on Cat machine simulator demos, and photographs with Cat construction and mining machines.
