Hot Rods and Harleys Rocks Downtown Rahway for the 10th year in a row!

As anyone who attended Hot Rods and Harleys on Saturday, May 12, 2012 could see, this 10th annual event was the biggest and best attended event so far.  Thousands flocked to the downtown area to view the hundreds of classic cars, hot rods, motorcycles and custom choppers.  They also got to enjoy live music at every corner of the Downtown Area, and vendors selling everything from jewelry to toy cars to cotton candy – even ice cream served by Elvis himself!

A clear sky and balmy 80 degree day brought the people out in droves – and not just locals!  We got to showcase Rahway to people from miles away who came to see what the event had to offer.  The local restaurants and pubs flaunted their specialties, and even though the event officially ended at 6pm, the fun went on long past dusk.

“The city seems so alive,” said Tom McTamney, Chairman of the Rahway Center Partnership, who, in conjunction with Liberty Harley-Davidson, RSI Bank, Northfield Bank, Kristen Distributing and BBC Speed and Machine, sponsored this event this year.  “We couldn’t have done it without our sponsors, including all the local businesses pulling together to sponsor the trophies and T-shirts.  Thanks to the City of Rahway, and all of our volunteers who gave up their Saturday so that everyone else could have a great time.  They really came through, and Hot Rods and Harleys went off without a hitch.”
