text: After attending the Super Run Classic Car Show in downtown Henderson last weekend I am a fan of local eventsThe Super Run Classic Car Show transformed Water Street into a classic car museum filled with people The cars included a Ford coexisting with a Chevy El Camino a Plymouth Road Runner Trans Am and every classic car imaginable Just like a good museum the cars included information about their year and make A good number of the cars had the hoods popped open to display the engines The vehicle owners were there to share information There was even a stand displaying hundreds of Match Box and Hot Wheels cars for salenn The Super Run Classic Car Show featured a few food concessions plus a beer garden They sold corn dogs smoothies hot dogs burgers sausages and fries Personally I have mixed feelings about the food concessions in downtown events My understanding is that the events are entertainment that helps stimulate the downtown economy On Water Street so much of the downtown economy is restaurants and bars I would do my part by supporting the Cafe in the El Dorado the Coffee House and the Gold Mine Tavern because they plan to be in the community for the long run Besides lately I am not too crazy over the taste of carnival foodnn In my reporting of the Super Clasic Car Show what made Super Run Classic Car Show shine was that it made Water Street shine I never saw Water Street so happening on a weekend afternoon For a day Water Street looked like US when GTOs ruled the road A Water Street that is usually empty on a Sunday morning wasuaanimateduawith people These people were supporting local businesses From my observation business was up on Water Street There was even a minute wait to eat in the Cafe It also seemed that the casinos and bars were busiernn When I look back on the Super Run Car Show I think of how it made Water Street shine on a weekend afternoon When I look back on this event I look forward to more local events
