Despite the deluge on Sunday afternoon, skies were kind to the participants and audiences of Rotary’s 2022 Fall Fest Car Show, “Five Star Generals.” It is reported that over 200 cars were registered. Twelve prizes were awarded to cars from the 20s and 30s, 50s, 60s, and 70s: muscle cars, trucks, street rods, imports, most original, all show, and participant’s choice.
Throngs of people, young and old, were too happy to be splashing in the puddles as oohs and ahhs escaped their mouths. It’s hard to say just how many people enjoyed the car show, as all the bars, brewery and distillery were full, as well. Yes, not only was Fall Fest (including the car show) a great success however the weather showed; it was a great success for the businesses downtown. Birdi Kribs, the owner of the Bird’s Nest, said she had been very busy all weekend. In fact, she reported that she had even sold some furniture and many vendor items. “Life is good,” said Birdi, “I’m grateful to have this corner where so many Townsend people can share their talents and skills.”
Fall Fest is fun every year, and the Rotary and friends do a bang-up job organizing it. That in itself brings so many folks to Townsend…to see the many park vendors and enjoy the music and car show.
