The 29th annual Concourse Delle Gantes at Ironstone Winery in Murphys, Calaveras County gathered hundreds of vehicles and visitors for a weekend of exhibits and awards supporting youth agricultural education, including 4‑H and FFA. Organizers and emcees presented class awards across categories ranging from unrestored early automobiles to postwar European sports cars, and the top prize — best of show — went to a 1964 Aston Martin DB5 saloon coupe brought by Terry and Paul Karuba of Aptos.

The event’s purpose, organizers said, is fundraising and youth support. Gail Kautz, owner of Ironstone Winery, said, "We're a 5 0 1 c 3. And the purpose of the concourse now is to raise money for youth agricultural education." Kautz described scholarships and donations the concourse funds, including awards that go to state and county fairs.

Judges and longtime volunteers said the field remains large and varied. Jim, identified in the program as the chief judge, said the show has grown: "We have 300 or more cars on the field every year." The emcee presented class winners across marques and eras — examples included a 1957 Spohn DV13 convertible (an extreme rarity), a 1911 Sears motor buggy honored as best unrestored, and numerous American and European classics in restored and unrestored classes.

Organizers also highlighted on‑site programming: period racing exhibitions on a nearby track, amphicar demonstrations on the event lake, and awards selected by FFA and 4‑H members for cars they would choose. The emcee noted the show’s charitable focus and logistics, and said the next show is planned for the fourth Saturday in September (advertised as September 26 for the following year).

The concourse combined exhibition, judged competition and fundraising. The event roster and awards list included dozens of class winners and special recognitions; attendees were encouraged to support the participating youth organizations and to return the following year.
