Carefree council approves consent agenda, greenlights downtown "Orphans and Oddballs" car show
Summary
The Carefree Town Council approved routine consent items and unanimously authorized a temporary street closure for a downtown car show called "Orphans and Oddballs," which organizers say will highlight discontinued and specialty cars and use a footprint similar to a prior Porsche show.
The Carefree Town Council approved routine consent items and unanimously authorized a temporary street closure for a downtown car show called "Orphans and Oddballs." Councilman Johnson said the event is a community-wide show intended to highlight unique cars, with special emphasis on "orphans"—automobile makes no longer in production.
Councilman Johnson said he, Councilman Miller and Planning and Zoning Commissioner Les Hardy have worked on the event for about six months and that volunteer Madison will help with outreach. "Les has got some great contacts," Johnson said, and organizers expect interest from local communities including Desert Mountain and North Scottsdale. The proposal calls for a street closure on Easy Street from Hoham Drive to Sundial Circle and a portion of Hoham Drive on November 16, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The council first approved consent agenda items 1–4 by a single motion; later, after Councilman Johnson discussed item five, a separate motion to approve the temporary street closure passed unanimously. No roll-call vote counts were read into the record.
The council encouraged community members who own distinctive or discontinued vehicles to participate and asked that residents and merchants help promote the event. No permits or traffic-management specifics beyond the requested temporary closure were discussed at the meeting; organizers and staff will follow the town’s permit process.
