Other Things to Remember:
- We are a traditional pre 1965 show but we also have a VIP area for our pre 1976 vehicles.
- If you have a hood, keep it closed. Show off the lines of the vehicle instead of your engine and air cleaner.
- No display is needed. No story boards, stuffed animals, cry baby dolls, rubber rats, skeletons, skulls, drive inn trays, or any other items
that detract from the vehicle itself.
- Street legal trailer queens get no respect. We strongly encourage driving vehicles to the event.
- There is no reserved parking or saving spaces for others. If you want to park together, arrive together. Remember that club members
cars will each be inspected so it is possible that not all the cars will be allowed.
- Just because the vehicle was allowed into any other traditional show doesn't mean it will be allowed into this show. Criteria and
entrance rules will be strongly enforced.
- If your vehicle doesn't make the cut for our criteria don't freak out its not the end of the world. We have a nice section right by the
entrance gate that all cars (1976) or cars that don't meet the guideline's of our criteria can park in.
- Its a car show!!! Come in have fun, hangout with your friends, make new ones.

We would like say thank you to all our staff and volunteers. We couldn't pull off the event so successfully without you all. Also, let us not forget all the spectators for attending and returning year after year showing your support.
We cannot say enough about how appreciative we are to the Union Thresherman's Club and to the Werth family for the use of their grounds and all they do to support our event annually. Without their continued support we couldn't bring you this fantastic event each year.
