Murphys, Ca — A celebration of automotive history will take place at Ironstone Vineyards this weekend.

Many classic cars will roll into town for the 11th annual Concours d´Elegance. According to Ironstone Foundation Chair Gail Kautz, approximately 350 automobiles will be on hand.

Kautz says proceeds from the event will benefit numerous 4-H and FFA programs in the community, as well as fund youth scholarships.

Over the past decade, the Ironstone Concours Foundation has contributed over $400,000 to local youth programs. Additionally, the group donated $100,000 to Louisiana and Mississippi 4-H programs affected by Hurricane Katrina, and pledged $100,000 for a new FFA Headquarters Building in Galt.

The Concours d´Elegance is Saturday from 10am-4pm at Ironstone Vineyards.
