The weather was cold but clear and people came to see what they could find. I heard about some rare parts that I had to check out so I ventured into the cold before it got too busy inside. Many vendors were set up but sitting in their trucks with the heat on. I took some pictures. There were even some hot rods there and I took a couple of pictures on my way by.

I managed to sneak away from selling and take a few pictures of the cars in the show area.

As well as the car show the Apple Festival had craft vendors, food trucks, produce and flower vendors and live entertainment. They announced registration of 500 plus cars. I took some pictures late in the day after some had left but it was a great show.

Friday night we sat around the fire burning in the vintage chimnea in front of a vintage travel trailer and we reminded ourselves of the evolution of the Waterdown Swap Meet.

From Decades ago at the park in downtown Waterdown where the swap meet was crowded and the car show required a good parking brake, to the soccer fields, and now to the Rocton Fair grounds, shopping and showing has ridden the waves of change.

This year the weather was sunny but breezy and the turn out was one of the best in a while.
There were vendors in every field with a great variety of parts. There were show cars way up the back field, in the middle and up by the road in the front field. It was quite a sight to see.

Here are some pictures.

Fish Festival 2025 was filled with many successful events and Sunday afternoon the Downtown was filled with cars for the car show. "Swag Bags" were given out to those who arrived early enough and there was a point in the day where we weren't sure where we would park the next couple of cars as space was getting limited but it was a great day.
Thanks to all who volunteered and special thanks to the organizing committee who worked so hard the whole event.

We took the Buick and parked it in the shade and had a great weekend.
Here are a few pictures.

It serves the county of Essex . The response has been great, the support of the community, the staffs and executives and volunteers all make for a rewarding experience.
This year we filled the parking lots with cars and the residents had a great morning.
The car owners were treated to coffee and muffins in the morning and hot dogs and hamburgers before the show ended. The musical entertainment was great as well.
Here are some pictures I took.

still evidence of the rain. Here are some pictures I took.
