Classic Headquarters’ Annual Banquet
Each year at the show, we have an optional group dinner or banquet. The great people at Classic Headquarters underwrite the cost of the dinner, to help keep the price reasonable for all attendees. The dinner is a great way to relax and get re-united with old friends. Tables of 8 allow for nice conversations, and after dessert, just stay seated for the beginning of the Auction. This year, Keep an eye out for Bobby Banana; he usually makes a showing at the banquet – and watch out for the Long Island crew – they love to photo-bomb when they see a camera!
After dinner, we hold a live auction of general and automotive items for charity. Automotive suppliers, businesses and individuals, through their contributions and donations, are to thank for the large array of items which are auctioned. One hundred percent of the proceeds of the auction, in addition to the house half of the 50/50, are donated to charity – most of which is earmarked for the Silence of Mary Home (see below). For proper planning, tickets for the dinner must be pre-ordered with your registation form 2022_Color_Flyer; although everyone is welcome to participate in the Auction.
If you would like to dontate an item to the auction, please email info@camaronationals.org
To speed the Auction, we will choose approximately thirty items of special interest for the live auction, and the balance of the items will be handled with a silent auction. The Lehigh Valley Camaro Club has volunteered to staff the auction, and Scott Settlemire and Drake Donovan will be our live Auctioneers.

Much of the money collected at the auction is donated to The Silence of Mary Home – a family style home, open to troubled and disenfranchised or abandoned children and teenagers of the Central Pennsylvania area. Founded by Sue and Vern Rudy, the home is located on Market Street in Harrisburg PA, and is a clean, safe, secure family style environment…with Jesus as it’s main focus. The home provides nutritious, well balanced meals, teaches and monitors household responsibilities of teens, coordinates school activities and connects the teens with social service agencies.
