Rhode Island may be the smallest state in this great nation of ours, but it’s hosting one heck of a huge Hot Wheels® party… the 2nd Annual Hot Wheels® Summer Smash!

Since 1995, the Rhode Island Hot Wheels® Club has been putting on expos in the New England area, but Summer Smash is fast becoming a fan favorite. This year, Summer Smash takes place from August 27th through August 30th at the luxurious Crowne Plaza Hotel, centrally located in Warwick. With the team from Mattel in attendance, record crowds are expected to join in four days of die-cast fun, including celebrity guests and vehicles, customs contests, and much more. It’s collector-themed activities like these that guarantee this Smash will be a hit!
