Thousands flocked to Splish Splash more than a month before the water park even opens to help raise money for Riverhead Move the Animal Shelter Sunday. 

Organization founder Denise Lucas estimated the fourth annual Hogs and Hot Rods Rock the Shelter might have been the most successful yet.

Dozens of classic car owners lined up at the event, which also featured vendor booths, a wood carving demonstration, food and music.

Below are some of our favorite photos from the day.
