2nd ANNUAL SCOOTER & MOTO SHOW
This year’s event will be on Saturday, March 5, 2022. 11a-5pm IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE M7 STREET FAIR.
The mods and rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the early to mid-1960s and 1970’s. Media coverage of mods and rockers fighting in 1964 sparked a moral panic about British youths, and the two groups became labelled as folk devils.
The rocker subculture was centred on motorcycling, and their appearance reflected that. Rockers generally wore protective clothing such as black leather jackets and motorcycle boots (although they sometimes wore brothel creeper shoes). The common rocker hairstyle was a pompadour, while their music genre of choice was 1950s rock and roll, played by artists like Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and Bo Diddley.[1] The mod subculture was centred on fashion and music, and many mods rode scooters. Mods wore suits and other cleancut outfits, and preferred 1960s music genres such as soul, rhythm and blues, ska, beat music, and British blues-rooted bands like The Who, The Yardbirds, and The Small Faces.

THE PINEWOOD CLASSIC.
This year’s event will be on Saturday, April 30, 2022.
After a couple cocktails we decided that what Phoenix was missing was an Adult only Pinewood Derby.
We all remember, when as a boy scout, we were required to build a pinewood derby car. But, inevitably our dad's took over and had more fun that we did.
Well, you know what?
We decided to take it back.
The competition is fierce and the craftsmanship is closely scrutinized, but the the fun is infectious!
