Hot August Nights and the Hot August Nights Foundation hosted the last official show of the 2018 season last Saturday on October 6th. The FALL FRENZY was held at Baldini’s Casino in Sparks, Nevada this year. It was a blustery morning and early afternoon where it even looked like the possibility of some snow for part of the day. Despite the weather, it was a nice turnout of about 200 cars and some people stopping by for the Annual Coat Drive for the needy and homeless as directed by the HAN Foundation. Our small group for Nevada Musclcars brought a few coats and machines for the drive and the local A\/W Drive In from Sparks offered coupons for root beer floats for the donations and hosted the lunch with the entries.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few pics from the local event.<\/p>\n
