The 2010 Orphan Auto Picnic returns to the
Kendall County Fairgrounds
for another day of classic automotive fun!
Last year, 2009, was our first year at this venue,
and we were delighted with its spaciousness and other amenties.
We can't wait to go back!
What's an orphan auto? In a nutshell, qualifications can be summarized as follows:
Disappointed that we're unimpressed with your 1963 Lamborghini? Not to worry -- a portion of the spectator parking area will be set aside for nonqualifying collector cars. (But if you're planning to arrive in a Corvette, why not trade up to a Crosley?) Chicagoland Corvair Enthusiasts will once again offer free beverages while they last. As always, there will be fabulous raffle prizes, so come prepared to buy lots of raffle tickets. Most of all, you'll enjoy the best cars, the greatest people, and the most fun of any event of the summer! For maps and directions, please visit the the Kendall County Fairgrounds web site.
Thanks to all of the volunteers and participants who made the 2009 Orphan Auto Picnic one of the best ever! This was our first OAP at the Kendall County Fairgrounds, and it came off without a hitch. Everyone was delighted with the new venue, which offered virtually unlimited space for orphan cars and spectators. Still, some of us couldn't help feeling nostalgic for the Port-A-Potties that have become a "fixture" in past years. The featured makes for the 2009 show, Packards and Studebakers, were kept safe from the elements under the fairground's gigantic enclosure. Not that there was any threat of rain -- we enjoyed a perfect late summer day, sunny and cool.
