Going to Back to the 50's in St Paul, MN June 22-24. Haven't been there since the 70s when we lived in Red Wing. But I see they had over 11,700 cars last year and my opinion is the MN State Fairgrounds is one of the greatest car show venues I have ever seen.

 

Surprisingly few have mentioned:
Bonneville speed week
That's really the only one that's for certain!
