MIDALE - The Midale Classy Car Show made its return Sunday, and many people turned out to view the antique automobiles that were on display on Main Street.
Event organizer Scott Stabenow said they had 59 vehicles show up, which was more-than double the 29 they had in 2022. The number of participants surpassed their expectations.
"We had another good interjection of new cars that came into the show this year, that we haven't seen before. It's always great to see that, get to know some new people," said Stabenow.
He believes the increase is due to added publicity for all that was going on in the town during the long weekend, with the Midale Rodeo Association's Bull Bash and Cabaret, the Souris Valley Antique Association's Pioneer Echoes activities, and the return of a street dance. The organizers of those events are always sure to promote the car show.
Scott Zieglgansberger of Roche Percee was the winner of the People's Choice Award. He brought a Ford Mustang to the show.
Exhibitors came from as far away as Carlyle and Coronach, and lots were from Midale and other nearby communities.
There was also a good diversity of vehicles this year, he said, with classic vehicles from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s to go along with more modern vehicles. They even had a dirt-track race car for people to view.
"There was a bunch of beautiful cars from all through the years," said Stabenow.
