Mission Statement
1. To provide funding for scholarships for UVU students involved in Automotive Training Programs.
2. Preservation of the automotive tradition through showcasing quality vintage and modern vehicles and workmanship.
3. To prepare and train people for a career in the Automotive Field.
In May 2009, Utah Valley University hosted the 22nd annual Auto Expo and Swap Meet. The event continually welcomes thousands of spectators and has had more than 700 car/ motorcycle entries which are eligible for over 120 awards. The Auto Expo is among the largest car shows in Utah and features local car/motorcycle clubs as well as unique private collections.
On Friday afternoon, the activities start with a pre-event social at Barber Brothers in Spanish Fork. At 5:30 pm, the cars start to cruise from Barber Brothers to Utah Lake State Park and then onto the UVU Automotive compound for live music and a barbeque. Not only is there great food and entertainment on Friday evening, it is a great opportunity to see the facility here at UVU and talk to someone about the Automotive Technology programs.
The car show follows on Saturday with a day filled with great cars and family entertainment.
In addition to the car show, part of the package is the largest Automotive Swap Meet in Utah that draws people from all over the northwest.
All the proceeds from the Auto Expo and Swap Meet are used for scholarships to award to UVU Automotive students. In the last two years 6 students received scholarships!
I challenge you to see all there is to see and do in the one day and remember that all proceeds exceeding show costs will be donated to scholarships for auto, diesel and collision repair students at UVU. Great cars, great entertainment and a great cause what more could you ask for?
