Other activities in the kids' zone include a maze-style game, multisport challenge and a ball toss. food trucks "We'll attract, hopefully, more families to come out and show it's not just a dad event," according to Crosbie, who noted family attendance at the 42-year-old event is growing. The food offerings are also slightly revamped to include food trucks, along with the traditional barbecue and tea garden. Food trucks expected at the car show are Kruzin' Kuizine and Belfiore Foods along with Mister Softee ice cream. On average, 300 antique and classic cars take over the museum's property.
