A Hilton Head Island DO NOT MISS

The Hilton Head Concours is an annual event that is headed into its sixth year this fall. It is an automotive festival with hundreds of collectible cars including Italian sports cars, American hotrods and muscle cars, vintage motorcycles, antique ambulances and fire trucks and more. This year's event is being held November 1-4.

The displays are truly impressive to see and a neat view of history. A few of the unique exhibits on tap for this year are cars from hotel mogul Bill Marriott's personal collection, a Cadillac El Dorado once owned by Elton John and the world's smallest car.

The Concours also offers fun events for those who may not be huge car enthusiasts. They have an annual fashion show with brunch, an auction and a Track Day event that invites participants to strap on a helmet and ride alongside a driver.

And, a bonus is Hilton Head's world-class beaches, more than 20 premier, public-access golf courses, tennis, fishing, enormous dining selection and dozens of shopping venues.

Even if you're not a car enthusiast, I would still reccommend this event; one of the most fun vacation memories you will have! The Concours' Web-site has more information, ticket prices and schedule of events (www.hhiconcours.com).
