On July 24, the Pierce County Fairgrounds was full of nearly 800 vehicles, 80-some swappers, a farm toy show with vendors and dis- plays, maple treats, Al’s Kettle Corn and more. There were 277 vehicles in 16 judged class es with more than 500 vehicles in show and shine, featuring cars and trucks from the 1900s
to 2002 – 102 years of automotive history. Many makes, models and designs were beautifully displayed at the 44th annual Beldenville Old Car Club Show & Swap Meet.
This day on the fourth Sunday of July has made Ellsworth famous for a huge show all in the shade of the lovely Pierce County Fair- grounds. We invite you all to attend the 45th annual show on July 23, 2023 to view the huge selection of vehicles 2003 and older. We thank everyone who helped make this a success the last
44 years. Mark you calendar and we’ll see you next year!
