Here are a few pics from the 7th Annual Chester Main Street Classic Car show held in the Town of Chester, NJ. A great showing of cars. Over 300 lined Main Street and the surrounding area on a Picture Perfect Sunday !!!. Everything from Stocks to Rods were in attendance. This show was presented by Gearhart Chevy and the Chester Historic Business Association with all the proceeds to benefit Cancer Research.... Historic Chester, NJ once know as "Black River" was established in the early 1700’s. It’s rich history includes professions in the early days such as farming the area’s rich lands, mining, milling and inn-keeping until iron ore brought prosperity to the area in the latter half of the 1800’s. The majority of the buildings erected along Main St. during this boom period were used as shops for the merchants. Today, many of these same buildings are still used in that same capacity. Mining declined and the area returned to farming as the primary business of the Chester area. Farms, their bountiful farm stands and "pick-your-own" fields continue to operate in the Chester area....... I hope you NJOY the pics ..... Big Al
