Enthusiasts of Restored Cars

Enjoy the display of restored cars from other generations. If you have an old car you would like to display contact the Rotary Club at rbrower@sti.net. The first 20 to register their car will receive a free sandwich at festival.

Enjoy a day in Mariposa while tasting wines, viewing local art, and taking a trip back in memory lane as you view restored cars.
