Sunday Rain Date – 2:00 pm all stands and rides open. – 5:00 – 8:00 pm music entertainment. 8:00 pm fireworks. – Close

Here is where it gets tricky. If it rains Friday but not Sat. the Friday entertainment is on Sunday with the fire works on Sunday not Saturday. If it rains on Sat but not Friday the events from Sat move to Sunday with car show registration from 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm. If it rains both Friday and Sat. we will figure it out . But lets hope for no rain at all for a change.

Steve Moyer Subaru will co-sponsor the fireworks.
