Annual Vintage Car and Truck Show
- Date
Sunday, July 24, 2022 - Location
Blair Historical Farm, one mile east of Homer on M-60 - Time
TBA - Details
The Vintage Car and Truck show has been held annually at Blair Historical Farm, and the 2021 event would have been the 20th one. It was cancelled out of concern and caution during the coronavirus pandemic. Please mark your calendar and stay tuned for the 2022 details of this popular event and fundraiser at Blair Historical Farm on the fourth Sunday in July. We are excited to be planning for it.
With the loss of potential revenue from the cancellation of the vintage car and truck show, Camp said the board of directors is asking for the community’s support. Donations can be made using the “donate now” button or by writing a check to the Homer Historical Society and mailing it to the Homer Historical Society, PO Box 146, Homer, MI 49245.
