Re: Anyone going to the huge Ottawa,KS car show?
The Ottawa sow, usually has around 1100 to 1200 cars and trucks for their weekend. They have a cutoff date for vehicles and will not let anything newer than a 72 into the show. I have not spent much time there since the cutoff date was inacted, but they do give a good show.
I am working on going to the Ark City Tumbleweeds show on the 26th, 27th, and 28ty of September. It is well done and draws people from 5 or 6 states. |

Do you have a room already? May not get one, if you haven't reserved one.

Re: Anyone going to the huge Ottawa,KS car show?
I reserved 3 rooms in Ottawa 2 months ago, called them Saturday to cancel 1 & they acted like they never had a reservation for any of them. (can you say pissed off?) I ended up getting some rooms 27 miles up the road in Gardner.

I went there a few years ago (probably 2003 or so). The saturday night cruise was pretty cool.

Re: Anyone going to the huge Ottawa,KS car show?
I'll be there Saturday and maybe Sunday. I'll either be in my '56 Chevy 4dr wagon or my '57 Bel-Air 4dr hardtop. The 4-speed in the wagon is making some noise so not sure I trust it. Ottawa is just under an hour away from my house. I've been to the show twice in the past four years and would recommend it to anyone. Good size show and great location (as long as it doesn't rain).

Now I didn't get to see that one when we were up there!
The '57 looks good!
