Car Show

press release: Executive Director Colin Murray announces a new Dane Buy Local event, Car Show 2021, taking place on September 18, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at McKee Farms Park, 2930 Chapel Valley Road in Fitchburg. The inaugural outdoor event is sponsored by Fitchburg Family Pharmacy, and will highlight some of the area’s most unique vehicles.

Not only will attendees be able to check out the classic, antique, and one-of-a-kind vehicles, there will be other family-friendly activities to enjoy: artists, crafts, kid activities, food carts, and special interest booths.  

“What a fun event for car enthusiasts and the whole family. There will be something for everyone, and all will take place in a beautiful park,” says Murray.

Car Show 2021 is a Dane Buy Local fundraiser to support their work on behalf of local businesses, and River Food Pantry will also be present (at the main gate) to collect money for a special Veteran’s Day appreciation event on November 11.
