These automobiles will be located only at the Huntsville Park. It is anticipated that Mike Bachman will also show some of his special automobiles along with a great antique car owned by local Ray Bowden. A few automobiles will be available for viewing on Friday afternoon, August 17. However, after the hot air balloon launch on Saturday morning, August 18 at Wolf Creek Resort, the activities will shift to Huntsville Park. There you will be able to walk by and view many more of these magnificent machines that will show up on Saturday. You will be able to cast your vote for the “People’s Choice” award. The winner of the award will be announced, and the proud owner of the automobile will be awarded a special prize on Saturday. Attendees at last years Balloon Festival were able to get a taste of these distinctive automobiles, but this year you will see so many more. We think you will be truly impressed and blown away! Don’t miss this year’s antique car show at the Ogden Valley Balloon Festival. |
