Norwich hosts annual auto show

September 18, 2014 12:00 am • Last Updated: September 17, 2014 1:57 pm

Spectators check out vintage automobiles during the 2012 Norwich Auto Show.

The theme of this year's Norwich Auto Show at Dodd Stadium is simple: Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

The automobiles, of course, are a given, with a whole variety of styles.

The planes come in the form of a remote control airplane show, with the trains chugging in via a model train exhibit.

Beyond all that, the event also promises live music, arts and crafts, a flea market, and business vendors. A LEGO building contest accepts creations from 8 to 11 a.m., and a performance by All the Right Moves Dance Studio is scheduled to run from noon to 12:30 p.m.
