Gallery: Hot Rod Halloween Car Show – Oct. 20, 2024

NEW HARTFORD, CT – It wasn’t the best launch for the first-ever Hot Rod Halloween Car Show as an overnight accident on Route 44 shut down access to parking lot where it was set to be held. Some cars managed to find a way in, though. RIDE-CT arrived after the road finally reopened and managed some photos for this gallery. Better luck next year….
