The Maple Lake Chamber of Commerce welcomes gearheads from throughout the region and state to gather in Maple Lake Saturday for the 15th Annual “Gearhead Get-Together.”
The event is a celebration of everything automotive, and just about any vehicle or invention run by a motor from vintage right up to the present is welcome. The festival will line the streets in downtown Maple Lake and adjacent areas, and will run from 8 AM to 6 PM Saturday. Admission is free.
Shuttle buses will be running again this year from the Maple Lake High School parking lot. Any visitors who are not displaying something in the show are encouraged to utilize the buses. Golf carts and ATVs are not allowed except for use by show volunteers. Handicap mobility scooters are approved for those who need them.
Some 24 grand sponsors and 18 or more other sponsors invite everyone to a day filled with a huge swap meet, a wide variety of vehicles on display, food and beverage vendors and much more.
Live music from Robby Vee and the Star Chiefs will also be featured. Returning this year is the Powerhouse Mobile Dyno available for visitors to test horsepower throughout the day, along with the American Motor Drome Company’s “Wall of Death.” KRWC Radio’s Dave Larcom will be on hand for DJ fun and show announcements throughout the day.
Tonight (Friday), a “Downtown Pre-Party” with live music from Mike Bustin will run from 4 to 9 PM hosted by The Butchery.
