Wisconsin Car Show Weekend

 We were out at the “Comforts of Home” show in River Falls, WI last Sunday. We got there around noon, which was too late to register (the show started at 10:00 AM) but we were in time for lunch served by the folks at the “Comforts of Home” assisted living center and music by the “Rock Man”.

Due to heavy rains the night before the show was moved from the grass to the parking areas around the circumference of the site which made for a unique car show experience where you only saw small groups of cars at a time but there was always a treat around the next turn. Due to a couple of tired children, we left as awards were being announced so I don’t know who took home trophies but there were plenty of beautiful cars to pick from. We saw a super original Corvair convert, a stunning Buick Skylark and many many more.

The home’s residents were out to see the cars and dance to the oldies. There were lots of stories to hear and lies to tell.

We went to Baldwin, WI’s June Bug Days show Friday night but it was a last minute decision to brave the threatening weather and I forgot my camera. The show was great, the weather held out and we didn’t see a drop of rain. The new rear shocks on the Mustang handled four people in the car with no sagging or bottoming.

The 57 Bel Air next me took home a trophy as well as the 40’s Cadillac on the other side of me. A 72 Mustang convert was best in Show. Music was provided by the “Rock Man’. There were mini donuts on site and a playground for the kiddos so everyone had a good night.

With Back to the Fifties coming up this weekend it’s easy to forget about the local shows but we will have the Mustang out for the North Hudson Car show at Kozy Korner around 2:00 PM Saturday and I plan a big post from BBTF’s next week. Anyone else going out to BBTF’s? What are you driving?
