Need a car wash? And a laugh?
Well, this is definitely the month to visit the Tanforan Shell and Carwash.
Even if your car isn’t dirty, there are still plenty of reasons to visit this San Bruno car wash, gas station and convenience store, which is hosting a fun fundraiser titled Relief-o-Rama July 4-31.
The event features a Donald Trump impersonator, stand-up comedy, a rooftop concert series with Bay Area bands, a politician dunk tank, and an artsy cool car wash show.
And yes, social-distancing and other COVID-19 safety precautions will be in effect. Proceeds and donations benefit “COVID-19 response efforts, local schools and arts, orphanages and other humanitarian projects,” according to a news release.
Here’s what you can witness at Relief-o-Rama:
- Dunk a Politician: Fear not, this is an equal opportunity game — dunk targets include Donald Trump and Joe Biden, as well as Lindsey Graham and Nancy Pelosi, for that matter. You can even try to dunk a human-sized COVID-19 virus cell, though we’re not sure which political party it represents.
- John Di Domenico: The Bay Area satirist and Trump impersonator has appeared on “Today,” “The View” and “Conan.”
- “Hardly Unlikely” concert series: Local bands will play on the Hangry Mart rooftop stage, which is adorned with large sea horses and Neptune, the god of water and wet politicians.
- Car wash video: Enjoy a virtual reality “Bubbletown Video Show” as you take your car through the wash tunnel.
- Art display: Work from local artists, including sculptures of dinosaurs, will be on display on the car wash grounds.
