                              Yard sales were everywhere


Main street was closed to vehicular traffic


There was no excuse to go hungry                        


Want to be a hit with the younger set?


                                       Do balloon animals


As the afternoon wore on, the crowd kept growing...


...and growing!                                                 


Some like street rods, some go for custom jobs...


                   ...I'll take a beat-up World War II Jeep for authenticity


If your street rod or custom job gets stuck, it can pull you out


This '47 Chevy is a familiar sight around New Hampshire car shows  


A rare 1958 Edsel Corsair


1963 Rambler, not very exciting but a popular economy car in  its day


1970 Buick Riviera, definitely not known as an economy car


This circa 1985 Ford Escort can't seem to decide which way to go   


A country band provides musical background



The next day, the show was moved across the river to Canaan, Vermont


Where spacious fields replaced the narrow streets of Colebrook


Luckily, the food concessions came too                        


Woodcuts were among the many crafts presented


                           Old-fashioned weaving


Shoes not required


Birdhouses of all sorts                                          


Hit the target and dunk the chump


                                Wagon rides were popular with all ages


The moose calling contest attracted mostly young


Moose burgers proved wildly popular                         


Kids enjoyed pony rides


                                  My personal favorite — a 1930 REO
                    
Sold new at J. A. Lewis Auto Sales, Mankato, Minnesota


As usual, if I like it I have to shoot it from all angles


A name long gone from the American road                       


A beautifully restored showpiece
Trivia fact: REO stands for Ranso
m Eli Olds, who introduced the Oldsmobile in
1895, then left Oldsmobile to incorporate the REO Motor Car Company in 1904


                      An equally well-restored 1931 Model A Ford


A nice little '36 Chevy pickup


A 1937 Ford — I remember my Uncle Brooks coming to visit in one of these


A 1939 International — I remember when they were commonplace


Perfectly restored down to the smallest detail


Oops! Caught my own reflection...it was an accident, really!


1940 Chevrolet                                               


'40 Chevy from the driver's perspective
