2014 Marysville AutoFest Part 2

Part 1 | Part 2

The brick downtown streets of Marysville offers a perfect backdrop for the show. The BBQ contest going on next door offers a treat for the nose as well. This is a show that I’d love to see grow, the people that put it on put a lot into a fun event. The plan is to return next year, hopefully with my buddy’s BBQ team, because that was the one thing missing this year.

2014 Marysville AutoFest Part 1

For the 4th  year in a row I returned to Marysville, KS the first weekend of June for the Marysville AutoFest. Once again Mother Nature decided to rain on our parade. with moisture early in the day the normal car count was down a bit, but the entire time that I was at the event there were cars rolling in. Now out here in the Midwest we know that the local economies rely on the weather so we never complain about a little rain. This show is fun every year, and I wish I had more time to stay this year to meet a few owners of some of the cars but I had a wedding to rush off to. Enjoy the photos, more to come tomorrow!

Event Coverage: 2013 Marysville AutoFest Part 1

AutoFest!

Although I’ve been to the AutoFest twice before (2011 and 2012) this was the first time I’d taken my car. Some of my friends were competing in the BBQ contest so we all rolled into town on Friday. I did not take part in the poker run but I saw quite a few cars that did. All of the photos are in the gallery here if you want to see them all.

The cars started showing up early! This was about 7am.

Open to all makes and models this show draws in a nice variety of cars.

Visually a car show is much better when the hoods and trunks are all shut but since this show does have a couple of teams of judges that come through I understand how some people would rather leave their cars open for the judges.

That’s it for part 1

More info on the Marysville AutoFest!

Marysville AutoFest June 1st

So last Friday I wrote up a little blog post about the upcoming Marysville, KS AutoFest on June 1. Yesterday I got a call from a friend of mine who is one of the people responsible for putting the show on and he had a ton of info for me about the show. Since it was new to me and I’d been to the show a couple of times I figured I better pass the info along to you.

 

2013 marks the 23rd year of the AutoFest, last year the show had 297 entrants and they’ve seen a 20 car growth each of the last few years so this year they are expecting to break that 300 car mark. The show is held on the brick street of the business district of Marysville and is held in conjunction with a KCBS sanctioned BBQ contest, that some friends and I will be competing in. AutoFest is open to all makes and models, including bikes, trucks and even tractors, just bring something cool to share with everyone else.

The promoters idea is a K.I.S.S. principle in running a show, they keep it as simple as possible. There are no official classes and your ride is not in any real competition with anyone elses. Each car is judged on it’s own merit and they award bronze, silver & gold awards, almost every car leaves with some sort of an award. They have a ton of specialty awards so that they can spread them around.

There are tons of vendors, including parts, food and even bouncy castles for the kids. Speaking of the kids, the show offers pool passes for the kids if they want to head over to the Marysville pool. The downtown area of Marysville offers lots of shopping opportunities if the ladies want to get away from the cars for a bit.

The show is set up to be as laid back and relaxing as it can be. Just my type of show where it’s as much about the social aspect of kool cars as it is the cars themselves.

See you at a show, (it should be this one!)

Upcoming Event: Marysville AutoFest!

It was by complete random chance that I ran into the AutoFest show in Marysville, KS a couple of years ago. I had made a 4 hour trip each way to check out a shop I’d heard about outside of Omaha, NE and on the way home while I sat waiting for a pilot car for some road construction I was told of a car show just down the road.

I figured what the hell, and went to have a look. Here are the photos from that first visit.

So last year I went back. This time I ran into some old friends. Here are the photos from that visit.

And this year I will return. As part of the same event there is a BBQ competition and I happened to mention that to my BBQ buddies. Well, they decided that we were going to compete at this one, so we’re loading up the smoker, a camper and we’ll make a weekend out of it. Should be a heck of a trip.
The show goes down over the first weekend in June in Marysville, KS. Here’s the only link I could find for info on the show. Come join us!

See you at a show,

Travis
