NEAR Movie Party Just Aroud the Corner on Sat. Nov. 8

The annual NEAR Movie Party is set for Saturday November 8th at 6:00 P.M. at the Dante Club, 1198 Memorial Ave in West Springfield, Mass. (Across from the Big E Fairgrounds).

The annual event will feature Videos remembering Riverside Park Speedway provided by Ken Meisenhelder of KGM Video, who did the videos at “The Park” from 1982 to it closed in 1999.

It is also a good time to bring along photos albums and memorabilia as many drivers and Hall of Famers are among the attendees.

This annual Movie Party is the primary fundraiser for the New England Auto Racers Hall of Fame. Since 1998 the NEAR Hall of Fame has inducted more than 100 of New England’s most prominent auto racing personalities. The NEAR Mobile Museum will be on display outside in the Dante Club parking lot.

This event is open to the public. Tickets are $15.00 and will be sold ONLY at the door. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and a Hot and Cold buffet will be served at 7:00 P.M and there will be a Cash Bar thru out the evening. There will also be the usual raffle. Scrapbooks are welcome, as there will plenty of time for bench racing.

The Dante Club is located on 1198 Memorial Ave. across from the Big E main entrance.
