  2. A couple of items to add:
    We will have a vintage Model Car Display. Many are from the early 60's with many being much older.
    Also the Grundy County-Mazon Speedway Hall of Fame is the week prior to Jalopy Fest and they literally have thousands of old Stock Car and Midget Auto Racing photo's dating back to 1933. They will have many of these on display for us.
    Plan on staying into Saturday night as we have a lot planed after the sun goes down!

  3. We got away from it a little last year but for 2012 we do have many of the pinstripers coming back to do some art work over the two days.
     
  4. We haven't seen the magizine yet but someone was nice enough to post this on our facebook page. Nice coverage of last years Jalopy Fest in the latest issue of Renegade Magizine!
