Rhinebeck Rod, Custom and Muscle Car Show
Dutchess County Fairgrounds, Rhinebeck, NYFriday, July 27, 2012
I attended the 1st Rhinebeck Nationals at the Dutchess County Fair Grounds, hosted by the Hudson Valley Street Rods, at Rhinebeck NY. The show suffered because of the weather forecast of heavy rain with thunder and lightening and the possibility of tornados on Thursday. Then there was the forecast of chances of rain each day of the show and Sunday, the drive home day. But even with the lighter than expected attendees, the weather situation and the startup issues of a new event the host volunteers were cheerful, patient and treated every one with the respect they deserved. This show deserves to grow and there is a lot of hope that next years show will be more successful and have better weather.
At the show the weather on Friday was very nice with some mugginess, but Saturday had its issues with drizzle on and off and a down pour during a thunder and lightening storm. The vendors were plenty given that is a first time show and the spectators were there despite the weather. These pictures are of some of the cars at the show with some shots of the down pour. Please enjoy these pictures and for those of you in the northeast consider putting this show on your calenderr next year. Bob Martino
