The Greater Searcy County Chamber of Commerce sponsored a car show in association with the Buffalo River Spring Fling on Saturday, May 28, 2011, on the Courthouse Square in Marshall, Arkansas. There was Food provided by the Lion’s club, and other fun including a dunking booth and more, and 50′s music on the Square all day. Car Show Judging was held at 2:00 PM.
We didn’t have the quantity of cars we were hoping for at the show because of the large show that was going on in Springfield, MO over the weekend, but we did have some very nice quality as you can see by the photos. We had a good crowd of spectators on the square checking out the cars and enjoying the 50′s music that was playing for most of the day.
