5 THINGS TO KNOW: When and where is the electric car show happening in McAlester? | News

Keep McAlester Beautiful gives information on McAlester’s first electric car show happening Saturday at the A.J. Horton Event Center.

1 What is an EV car show?

Electric! And we will allow hybrid vehicles too. I think people will be surprised how many different electric vehicles are out there. We hope to have a variety…all FREE!

2 When and where is the car show?

The Keep McAlester Beautiful EV car show is this Saturday, June 1, 10-2 at the AJ Horton Event Center, the Boys and Girls Club Event Center parking lot. It’s completely free. The only folks paying are our fine sponsors.

3 Can I participate?

Of course! If you have an electric vehicle or hybrid, you are welcome free. If you just want to come and look, it’s free too, and you can help us choose the crowd-pleaser winner. Each vehicle will have a place to drop off your ticket. You get a ticket by visiting the KMB blue pavilion. The crowd-pleaser winner gets a trophy and a cool T-shirt. We will also have Keep McAlester Beautiful T-shirts available for sale at the pavilion, $20.

4 Will anything else be at the show?

Cowabunga On Down Food Truck will be there, and maybe more!

5 What is next for KMB?

We have trees and plants to get in the ground in June. Expect to see us busy especially at the Monarch Habitat on McArthur in McAlester.
