About Symco Weekender

This will be the 12th year the Union Thresheree Grounds hosts an automotive event of this style.

Only 1964 or earlier vehicles meeting strict show criteria will be allowed on the main grounds. This is to preserve the unique atmosphere of Unionville. Upon arrival, all show vehicles are subject to inspection. Our criteria at Symco Hotrods and Kustoms is simple and logical. Part of this show is for traditional styled cars. If you cannot find an example of a car in an issue of the Little Pages or HotRod Magazine from 1948 -1964, it probably doesn't meet those traditional standards. The inspectors are not judging your vehicle. They are checking for style or equipment manufactured after 1964. The gate inspectors will have the final say of what passes inspection. Please be respectful of our gate inspectors, as these guys have a very difficult job.

Our show grounds feature 30 acres of camping with limited electrical hook-ups. Pre-registration is highly recommended to reserve your spot. We have over 150 swap spaces available, also with limited electrical hook-ups.

We are a mid-century automotive event. We ask that you please keep your swap merchandise mid-century or automotive related.

Over 100 vintage campers line the Little Wolf river during the show. Taking a stroll through our vintage camping area is like being transported to a simpler time. It truly is a wonderful sight to behold!

We have mini-bike drag races on the dirt track. All bikes will be inspected by a professional. For safety's sake, we reserve the right to suspend mini-bikes on the show grounds during peak hours.

We are also featuring a traditional pin-up contest on the bandshell on Saturday afternoon.

Entertainment will be spread throughout the grounds. Our main acts will be in the dance hall and in the tent stage all weekend long. Along with over a dozen DJ’s playing your favorite vinyl in the Unionville Saloon.

Pinewood derby - Come race your car on our vintage wooden track. We are going to be running several classes. One will be Boy Scouts of America rules and the other will be unlimited.

Charity pinstripe / art auction on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. All of the proceeds from this go to The 4th H.O.O.A.H of Wisconsin.

Every year, we raffle off a Traditional styled hotrod. All the proceeds go to a Veterans charity. In 2018 we donated to the Manawa Area Veterans Freedom Park, just down the road from Symco.

Come hungry! The UTC provides plenty of food and drinks for all ages. In addition, we will have other food vendors. PBR will be flowing throughout the grounds. $1 per cup & $5 pitchers! Photo ID required. No carry-ins allowed on the show grounds. This will be strictly enforced.
