British Field Day at Liberty Park
Saturday June 24, 9:00am - 3:00pm
That's right folks the biggest change to the British Field Day this year is
the location. The British Field Day will be held at Liberty Park. So it's
again time for all British car and motorcycle enthusiasts to get their rigs
out of the garage, clean them up and tune them so they're running as well as
can be expected. All British cars and bikes in any condition from 100 point
restorations to works in progress or an old daily beater are welcome - it
just needs to be British! So, if you're thinking "my rig doesn't look good
enough", think again. If you can get it there by driving, trailer or tow
strap, it belongs in the show! The more the merrier! All of the British
car/bike clubs are participating, so don't let those other marque's make
your club look like slackers, call your fellow club members and get them to
the event!
For the brave of heart, we will have the road course set up again this year
on a closed access road inside the park. It promises to maybe be a little
longer and surely a bit more challenging than previous years!
During the event there will be music, laughter, shop talk, bench-racing,
meeting new people, British specialty vendors, catching up with old friends,
drawings for raffle prizes etc. Liberty Park has many amenities. There is a
newly remodeled food concession stand, one of the largest and best
playgrounds in the City, the Tracy Aviary and a small amusement park that
has a Ferris wheel and Merry- Go-Round. Even if your family thinks you have
a terminal case of the British car disease and doesn't share your passion
for LBC's (little British cars), bring the family and come on down anyway.
There will be plenty for them to do while you are getting your fix!
Proceeds from this year's event will again be donated to The Food Pantry of
Saint Paul's Episcopal Church. Last year we raised enough money to pay for
80% of their yearly cash budget! The Pantry is providing volunteers to
assist with the event so the organizers can have some fun too!
The event will be located in the northeast quadrant of the park. The easiest
way to get there is to go to the corner of 7th East and 13th South, drive
west one block on 13th South and make a right hand turn at the south
entrance into the park. When you have gone about a quarter of the way around
the park, you will see the event on the left.
Please help support Saint Paul's food pantry by bringing your cars and bikes
out to join in the fun. Registration starts at 8:00 AM and we hope to have
most cars in place by 9:00. If you can't get out of a honey-do-project and
are delayed, no worries. Come late! The registration fee is $10 per car or
bike. A $5.00 donation is requested per adult. Kids 12 and under are free.
There will be a family pass available this year.
