MORRIS CAR SHOW!!!!! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

Hopefully the title will spark some interest

Well its the 20th annual Morris Lions Club Fall Classic Car Show!

I have had my car there the last 3 years and its been great, tons of cars last year was over 900 entered cars/trucks

20th Annual Morris Lions Club Fall Classic Car Show @ Lyondell/Equistar recreation area-5 miles east of Morris or 3-4 miles west of Minooka on Rt. 6.
Registration 7 AM till noon. Awards at 3:30 PM. For more info call - 815-942-1978 or 815-942-8262. Pre-registration by Sept. 30. Rain Date is Oct. 15
a link to the morris event calander its october 8th that would be a sunday this coming up sunday http://calendars.cbcast.com:8080/grundychamber They have food and swap meet area and car corral, usually some nice cars for sale for a decent price. Its always a blast and the weather is usally great so no reason not to go.

a quick map of the place, its in the field across the street from the plant you cant miss it they are fairly organized for the event. Hopefully more than a few people will show, I'll be by or near my blue 92 for most of the day.

Yea, I usually make the swap part of this show. This is the first year i was thinking of entering my car.

Not to sure yet, Will see what the weather does.
Will know more towards the middle of the week.

I know they get alot of cars, I usually end up walking through them, and by the time im done walking through the swap and the show, my legs get tired.
