Classics Museum in Hamilton is now such a big part of the Waikato community its hard to believe its only been a year since it opened. On the 1st of December Classics celebrated in true retro style with a Family Fun Carnival day, entertainment for the whole family.
Where there's a birthday party there must be cake! And Karin from Sweet Little Treat is the place for amazing cakes. The replica of the owner Tom's favorite car, a little red 1957 Corvette was incredibly realistic and full of small and perfectly executed details. Betty Boop stood above three layers of delicious chocolate mud cake and leaned on a replica of the Jukebox Diner's vintage jukebox.
A 1937 Bedford bus was restored and unveiled especially for the occasion. The bus was a functioning school bus for Hamilton students in the 1940's.
These guys had the best set up. Chuck a Coromandel beach in the background. Perfect.
Debonaire Dos and The Sweet Painted Lady were kept busy all day beautifying lady's in glamorous 40's and 50's inspired looks.
We sold almost 100 Pin Up Calendars on the day. A big thank you to all of my excellent sales women for their persistence!
The boys in yellow were on parking, electrical and stage setup. Very important jobs.
Face painting, a bouncy castle, balloon twisting, food and vintage collectibles stalls and of course lots of classic car displays dotted the car park, surrounding a stage where radio presenter Ronny Phillips introduced the entertainment.
The many visitors were delighted by with cheer leading, rock n roll dancing and a vintage fashion show hosted by Michelle Parish.
Hazel Hayes, a cafe on Victoria street brought their food truck along and served delicious coffees, wraps and curly fries.
I want this boat.
Thanks to everyone who came down to celebrate a very successful year of business for Classics Museum!
