Crowds turn out for Hackettstown Rotary’s Memorial Motor Madness Car Show

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. (Warren County) — Crowds turned out Sunday for the Hackettstown Rotary’s annual Memorial Motor Madness Car Show, held after storms forced organizers to postpone the event from its original May date.

The car show was held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the grounds of the Mars Snacking headquarters at 800 High St. in Hackettstown. The Rotary worked with sponsor Mars Snacking to secure the Sept. 6 date following the weather postponement.

The family-friendly event featured hundreds of cars across multiple vehicle classes, including antique cars from 1940 through 1979, antique trucks, muscle cars, foreign sports cars and a special Corvette class.
