Arscot House in Walworth is only 6 miles from Sharon. 262-275-3233. If you search the net, you will find several B&B's in the Lake Geneva area. Lake Geneva is about 15 miles from Sharon and is a lovely area to visit. Looking forward to seeing you in Sharon June 2.

I am a relatively new A owner and this was a great event! The entire main street in this small town was FULL of Model A's.
Thanks for sharing the info about the event.

Thanks to all of the volunteers from the Citzens of Sharon, WI and the members of The Rock-Ford A's chapter of MARC and MAFCA. These people work real hard year around to host the Model A community for this annual event.

It was the 17th annual event that was held in Sharon, WI always on the first Sunday in June. Well over 200 Model A's signed in at the Regstration tent for their dash plaques. Attendees with their Model A's came in from all over Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. Lots of great food all over town, unique shops / antique stores, swap meet vendors with the one of kind Model A parts, etc. Lots of ice cream was consumed even though the weather was cool. Great music, costumed locals, Eleanor Roosevelt and a Rolls Royce.

Once again the Bank of Sharon was robbed by a Model A car load of armed gangsters but luckily the local Sharon police officer in his squad car came (with help from the FBI with their heavy guns) came to the rescue.. It was quite a shoot out in downtown Sharon! I did see some Ford Barners again this year, thanks for your attendance and support. We welcome any snap shots that can be shared / posted here from some of the attendees to give the FB forum members a flavor of this small town / old home town feel event.

This was my first time visiting Sharon.

Was definitely a steelback kind of day...















This thing was drawing a lot of attention...

A couple Chiefs showed up.











I'll post the truck pics in the commercial vehicles thread. But I like the placement of this one...despite the pinto under the hood.

I detect some leatherback discrimination!
