Car Show

We’re sooooo excited to announce the return of our Car Show on

Sunday, May 2, 2021! 

The event runs from 8 AM until 3 PM.

Advance registration is now open.   Advance registration is $12.   Day of Event will be $15.   Fees will be refunded should the show be cancelled due to any ongoing COVID restriction which would prevent us from having the show.  Dash plates will be given to the first 100 entries.  All makes & models are welcome.  Awards will be given to the Top 40, along with our Mayor’s Choice and Best of Show.  The Sauk Valley Shifters will have a couple of awards for their Rat Rod favorites as well.

As with everything, the event is subject to changes depending on what the COVID-19 pandemic throws our way come Spring.  Our event is spread out over 2 city blocks so social distancing is kind of a given; and we’ll put other precautions in place as needed to keep our event safe. 3-D Sound will be our Master of Ceremonies for the day.  We’re once again partnering with the Sauk Valley Shifters who will be hosting their Spring Swap Meet that weekend.
