Keeneland Concours d’Elegance

Saturday, July 21, 2012

Each year during the Keeneland Concours d’Elegance, hundreds of car enthusiasts from all around the state and region join the shine ‘n show 'n fellowship in the Paddock Area of the Concours, a specially-designated parking area in close proximity to the juried automobiles.

Its popularity has grown so much that in 2012 we will require clubs to make a reservation for a spot in the Paddock!

Since the second Concours, Paddock participants have supported the charitable aspect of the Concours by participating in the Paddock Challenge. The Challenge allows clubs to vie for the honor of having their name placed on a trophy and plaque and to contribute to the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. The trophy and plaque recognizing each year’s winning car club is displayed throughout the year at the Children’s Hospital.

Both the Paddock and the Challenge have grown significantly, increasing from 135 cars in 2004 to more than 500 in 2010. During this time, the Challenge has generated over $37,000 for the Children’s Hospital.

The Paddock Challenge attracts Alfa Romeos, Audis, British Sterlings, Cobras, Corvettes, Ferraris, Hot Rods, Maseratis, Miatas,  Mini-Coopers, Model A, Mustangs, Porsches and many others.

Bluegrass Region Porsche club presents their check to The Kentucky Children's Hospital as winners of the Paddock Challenge trophy for 2011 with an astounding contribution of $3,636.96!

Trophy winning British Sterling Motoring Society was the highest individual donating club, they contributed $105 per car in the paddock to the Kentucky Children's Hospital.

Bluegrass Region members Ed Steverson and Neil Fisher with Concours and Hospital folks as the trophy is placed on display at the Hospital.
