All day
Up to 300 show cars on the field, chosen one at a time. Food on the field, a farmers market, and room on the grass for your chairs and your yard games.
Bring the children. Bring your mother. Bring whoever you have been meaning to take somewhere.
Entry and parking are free for everyone you bring. Pack a picnic, set up your lawn chairs, tables and shade in the picnic and spectator areas, and walk over to the show field whenever you like.
Leave the alcohol at home. All alcohol is sold by drink ticket at the event, to guests 21 and over. To drink, you are carded and given a wristband, with no more than two drinks per person.
Picnic setups for families are coming too, with prices listed soon.
Cornhole, soft ring toss, giant tumbling towers, ladder ball, bocce, Kan Jam, Spikeball and kubb are all welcome. Beyond those, no throwing balls or bats of any kind. Nothing motorized, including drones and RC cars, and nothing that digs into or marks the field: no horseshoes, croquet wickets, lawn darts or staked nets. No firearm use, including skeet shooting. Please play in the picnic and spectator areas, clear of the show cars.
