One of our favorite events is coming up in the middle of June - theMinnesota Street Rod Assocation's Back to the 50's Weekend in St. Paul, MN. Held from June 19-21, 2015 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, the event features nearly 12,000 registered hot rods, customs and classics from 1963 and earlier.
Vehicles cover nearly every inch of the massive fairgrounds. Vendors and crafters, automotive exhibits, food, music, and a swap meet are other highlights of the event. There's a "Ladies Showcase" building, an "Ignitors" Youth Rodders Mini Show, and a silent auction hosted by the MSRA. Plus, if your hot rod needs some special attention, the MHRA Rolling Repair shop will be there to put your vehicle back together.
Hot Rod Hotline will once again be next to registration in Building C! Come say hi if you're attending.
