On May 22, 2010 we traveled to Centre Hall, PA to the Grange Fairgrounds for the Grange Fair Car Show and Festival, formerly known as Grange Fair Wheels of Thunder. This 3-day event actually started on May 21 and continued through May 23 as they hosted a variety of events such as the Interstate Tractor Pull, Truck Pull, Garden Tractor Pulls and a stereo competition, in addition to the main attraction of the Car and Motorcycle show, featuring cars and bikes from every vintage.  The day was just beautiful, the wind was slightly breezy, and the sun was shining, that is until the rain clouds moved in.... However, the rain didn't stop many folks from sticking around and enjoying the rest of the day that had now become a wet one. 

Dozens upon dozens of caraholics could be found, as well as motorcycle enthusiasts and a swell of spectators checking out the many things to see.  In addition to the many events taking place throughout this 3-day event, there were a variety of food vendors, a flea market, craft show, carnival rides and of course, CARS.
