GTO Man,
I have pre-registered for the Amato Ford All Ford Show in Mukwanago. Even though I don’t have a car to enter, I may go as a spectator and take the camera and come back with photos for the forum.
Is anyone else planning on this show. This one is sponsored by the Milwaukee Vintage T Bird Club and is a judged, All Ford or Ford powered show.

I’ve never been to that show, it will be interesting to hear how it is! I’ll only be able to attend one show this weekend, it will either be Cross Plains or Beloit depending on the weather. I would prefer Beloit because I’ve been to Cross Plains in past years (where I met Marshall last year actually) and their show is more oriented towards pre 1950s and tractors. I’ve never been to Beloit so that would be a good one to try out.
We’ve gone to Beloit for the past 7-8 years. Always a very good show. The drive in is part gravel so if its dry you’ll have to clean off your car. Hot rods get to park in the shade by the river, covettes are segregated, and there are also “old cars” and trucks and then the muscle cars. They have had up to a 1000 cars. But in a day you can pretty much see all you want. They also have craft/car stuff and usually a bunch of for sale cars.
The Cross Plains Show is not a judged show, but for the entry fee, they do award some outstanding dash plaques that are mounted on a wood base and are really beautiful. There may be as many as 75-100 classic cars, muscle cars, but many, many more steam powered, antiques cars, or steam engines. I really enjoyed last years show at Cross Plains and there is lots of foot traffic from spectators, if the weather holds.
I have heard many good and excellent comments about the Beloit Show, but it is a big one with as many as 1200 cars participating. I have a commitment to the Mukwanago Amato Ford show, so I will save the Beloit Show for next year.

In regards to Jefferson,
The “usual” Fall Jefferson show is the following weekend, the 23rd and 24th of September, with the car show being on the 24th only.
I like the “usual” Fall Jefferson weekend because it gives me two full days to look for buried treasure (NOS, OE, Fomoco, Rotunda) amongst all the other trash and flea market stuff.

Yep, this is the big one hosted by Gary Esse.

I called the folks about the Jefferson show.
50 cars last year, 5 bucks for a button to get into the fair grounds. First 25 folks get a ribbon. Only 3 trophies that are picked by the staff of the fair. A mix of all types of cars ….
I’ll have to flip a coin (cross plains or Jefferson …).
edit: I found this on the website:
Participant ribbons to the first 25 entries. Three trophies awarded. King’s Choice for Best Pre-War, Queen’s Choice for Best Post-War and President’s Choice for Overall Favorite.
