| Some of the rarest, most elegant and historic collector cars from across the country will be showcased on the beautiful grounds of West Baden Springs Hotel, October 4-6. The Louisville Councours d'Elegance will bring together top exhibitors, seasoned judges and enthusiastic sponsors to celebrate the "competition of elegance" - and to raise money for Kosair Children's Hospital. After being held at Churchill Downs for the past five years, the event is moving to its new home French Lick Resort in Southern Indiana. The 3,000 acre resort, which features two historic hotels, four golf courses, a pair of world-class spas and more, will be the site for the full schedule of weekend activities. The featured marque is The Packard, a luxury line built by the Packard but the world-class Louisville Concours d'Elegance will also feature everything from micro cars to open wheel racing cars, with a mix of American and European classics. (See full list of classes below.) Nomination forms are available online or by contacting Lindsey Neely with Children's Hospital Foundation, LINDSEY.NEELY@nortonhealthcare.org. Over 125 different cars will be chasing the covet ed "Best in Show" with additional awards going to the "Best in Class" and specialty categories. The competition takes place on Sunday, October 6 but an entire weekend of activities is planned including an exclusive Welcome Reception, Scenic Driving Tour, "Kids & Cars Tent" and more. Guests are invited to experience the resort's heyday during a Great Gatsby Gala on Saturday, October 5 to benefit Kosair Children's Hospital. The world-famous atrium will be transformed into a Prohibition-era soiree that will feel like a page straight out of the American classic- complete with big band music, art deco-inspired decor and a lavish three-course meal. Costumes encouraged. Special room rates and Louisville Concours d'Elegance packages are available at West Baden Springs and French Lick Springs Hotels.
