Anthony, Texas – On Saturday, September 19, the Town of Anthony invites families to the 2nd Annual Wagging Wheels Car Show & Pets, a free community gathering that blends classic automobiles, pet-friendly activities and essential health services.
Event details
The celebration runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Anthony Municipal Park, located at 101 Richard White Drive. Organizers have designed the day to be welcoming for all ages and interests, encouraging residents to bring their children, pets and friends.
Free human vaccinations
One of the event’s most valuable offerings is a free vaccine clinic for both children and adults. Participants are asked to bring their vaccination records so health workers can verify eligibility and administer the appropriate shots. This public‑service component reflects the town’s commitment to safeguarding the health of its citizens.
Pet health and adoption
Pet owners will appreciate low‑cost vaccinations provided by Crossroads Animal Hospital, ensuring that dogs and cats stay protected against common diseases. In addition, the town’s animal welfare officer will offer free microchips for pets, helping owners keep track of their furry family members.
For those looking to expand their households, City of El Paso Animal Services will have a selection of animals available for free adoption. The adoption booth gives residents a chance to give a loving home to a pet in need while reinforcing the event’s family‑oriented spirit.
Classic cars and community fun
Car enthusiasts can stroll among a curated display of classic automobiles, ranging from vintage muscle cars to polished showpieces. The car show provides a visual treat and an opportunity for local hobbyists to share their passion.
Beyond the vehicles, the park will feature pet‑friendly zones where owners can let their animals socialize safely. Picnic tables, shaded areas and a relaxed atmosphere make the venue ideal for a weekend outing.
Why the event matters
By combining entertainment with essential health services, the Wagging Wheels Car Show & Pets exemplifies how local governments can address community needs while fostering fellowship. Free vaccinations help close immunization gaps, especially for families who might face cost barriers. Meanwhile, low‑cost pet shots and microchipping promote responsible pet ownership, reducing stray animal concerns.
Town officials hope the event will become an annual tradition, reinforcing Anthony’s reputation as a caring, family‑focused community. Residents are encouraged to arrive early, bring their vaccination records, and enjoy a day of cars, pets and health resources—all at no cost.
