12 Annual Rods and Roses in Carpinteria

This weekend is the 12 annual Rods and Roses event in beautiful downtown Carpinteria. The event is presented by the Coastal View News and this years proceeds will benefit the Carp Cares for Youth organization. This years grand marshall, for his 10th year running, is "Mr. Indy 500" and former spokesperson for STP Andy Granatelli. The one day show features classic auto and tractors pre 1979. There are also food vendors, craft sales, music, and raffles. At the end of the day, there's a parade of all the vehicles in the show and live music at the Carpinteria Valley Arts Center. Below are some pictures I took at the event.
