Cars & Motorcycles Rev Up for Adult Literacy


Join the Lead Kings Car Club at their third annual 

RODDING FOR READING CAR & MOTORCYCLE SHOW  

In support of The Literacy Group of Waterloo Region


DATE: Saturday, July 13, 2013

LOCATION: We are excited to announce a NEW location this year - Southworks Outlet Mall, 64 Grand Avenue South, Cambridge N1S 2L8 (see map)

Rodding for Reading is an accessible, family-friendly event not only for the vehicle enthusiast, but for everyone. Whether you enjoy low riders, hot rods, customs, classics, muscle, tuners, choppers, cruisers, bobbers, hogs, sport bikes – or don’t know what any of this means – you will enjoy this event!   

2013 is the third year The Lead Kings and The Literacy Group have joined forces to host Rodding for Reading. Through hard work and a lot of creativity, we’ve been able to create a unique and successful car and motorcycle show that appeals not only to the avid hobbyist, but to everyone. In 2012 we showcased over 120 cars and motorcycles and had visitors from all over Southwestern Ontario. We offered not only plenty of cars, but door prizes, vendors, activities for children, a book sale, an auction, a raffle, custom made trophies, music, great food by Ali’s Bar & Grill – and a whole lot of personality!
