- Retro ‘40s on Broad Street from 5-9 p.m., featuring vintage cars, period costumes, “appearances” from Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt and more;
- Vintage Car Show from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Registration is $10 and includes brat, beer, t-shirt and a chance to win $200 cash prize for best in show.
The car show will feature cars, motorcycles and military vehicles.
