Cameron Fur and Wildlife FestivalCar & Truck Show

If you missed the Cameron Fur and Wildlife Festival Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show, you missed one of the best if not the best in the Southwest Louisiana area. About 45 cars and trucks plus 20 or more motorcycles attended this years event. About 20 Idler members and their Cars and Trucks attended. We had a great turnout.

The car show was directed by Thomas and Chuck McDaniel's of Cameron, Louisiana. Cook Johnnie McDaniel served up some great BBQ. Most that attended also participated in the Cameron Fur and Wildlife Festival parade that went through downtown Cameron. The downtown area was packed with thousands of on lookers who enjoyed seeing the cars and trucks.

Idlers 1/1/2011 Show & Shine

The 1/1/2011 Idlers Show & Shine was a big success. It was cold but that didn't stop over 30 show car and show trucks from attending. Patrick Blanchard and Company cooked a very good chicken gumbo. Wesley Blanchard passed out several nice attendance prizes from our sponsors. We hope all members will attend the next Idlers Show & Shine in February at it's new location, Burton Coliseum parking lot. Lot's of room so come join us. Below are a few images from the new Idlers Show & Shine.

Idlers Show Cars & Show Trucks

Idlers Show Cars & Show Trucks is a family oriented Car Club dedicated to the collecting, preservation and enjoyment of Classic Cars and Trucks.

In the year 2000 several friends and associates started talking about starting a car club that would be open to a larger variety of vehicles. It was an idea whose time had come. At least this spirited small ban of car & truck enthusiasts thought so. There were several car clubs in town; however these clubs held meetings, collected dues and were only open to specialty vehicles. From this small group IDLERS SHOW CARS & SHOW TRUCKS was formed.

So this small group banned together with their cars & trucks to see how this would work. Well, the concept of no meetings, no dues and any car or truck regardless of year, make or model caught on and the club has attracted many interesting, and friendly people all with similar interest and all with something unique to offer.

With strong support from the members "Idlers" began to contribute to the community. The club started to participate in local car shows that were fund raisers and later organized and participated in club sponsored fund raisers.

Idlers Show Cars and Show Trucks have grown tremendously over the last few years from 6-8 members to over 200 members and we are still growing. One of our events rarely ends without someone joining "Idlers". We generally do local car shows but do go out of town and even out of state as a group. We also participate in other local club’s events.

We invite anyone who is interested in this "motor sport" to join our car family. Starting 1/1/2011 at 4 PM or any first Saturday of each month thereafter. We will be meeting in the Burton Coliseum parking lot located on the Gulf Highway just south of the Lake Charles, La airport.
