and greatest street rod creations.
So, what’s a street rod? It’s a vehicle
manufactured prior to 1949 and that
has been modified for travel on today’s
highways. Plus, this event also includes
muscle cars- those factory produced,
high horsepower machines from the 60’s
and 70’s, along with the classic cars of
the 50’s. The average value of the cars
ranges from $18,000 to $35,000. There
are, however, vehicles that exceed
the $100,000 mark as more and more
innovative technology is incorporated.
The Street Rod Nationals also
features a huge arts and crafts fair and
multiple special product seminars. And
there’s lots of free entertainment again
this year.

It’s Motown at it’s very best - Mo’feeling....
Mo’sound.... Mo’everything...
This group has been performing together for over 25 years and several
were actually “walkin’ the walk and talkin’ the talk” in the heart of the
60’s Motown Movement. Group members have played with The Four Tops,
Martha Reeves, Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Mary Wilson,
The Temptations, and many other Motown favorites. So, if you love the
Motown sound, this is a show for your “must see” list!
Branded sets the standard for excellence in Inspirational Country
Music. Their unique style and tight harmonies define the genre of
Christian Country, earning them the title of Duo of The Year for 2005,
2006, and 2007, along with 2008 Song of the Year. Paul Staggs and Robert
Welch have taken their music beyond the boundaries of Gospel music.
Add Tim Crispin on drums and Dennis Hogan playing bass and adding
Vocal, and their unique sound soars. They have eight studio CD’s and
numerous charting singles.
Papa Doo Run Run
Saturday, August 4 • 2:30 p.m. in Freedom Hall
If you love classic surfin’ tunes, this group is for you! This legendary band started in 1965 and quickly discovered they sounded like
the Beach Boys. By 1975 they had the Top 40 hit “Be True To Your School.” They went on to tour with Jan & Dean and the Beach Boys
throughout the next two decades. Their ground breaking CD “California Project” (1985) exploded onto the Billboard Hot 100 Chart at
no. 17 and earned the band their second Gold Record and a Grammy Nomination. Today, Papa Doo Run Run is who the Beach Boys
call when they need someone to fill in with their band.
