I love seeing older cars on display. Life was so much simpler than it is now, along with the repair bill. Now. when something goes wrong with your vehicle, you generally can't just open the hood, look there and see what the issue is.  Now, it's probably a computer issue.  Not easy or cheap to fix.

If you love seeing some of the older, vintage cars, next weekend will be your chance.

It's a return to the 50s with the MSRA Back to the 50s Weekend!  And it's happening next weekend, June 19, 20 and 21 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.  This is the 52nd year for this event.

The Minnesota Street Rod Association welcomes you to the 52nd Annual, MSRA Back to the 50’s Weekend!  And you can see the list of vendors that you can enjoy during the weekend.  Just click on the links to see what vendors will be there from each catagory listed.

Basically it's a trip back in time when people maybe appreciated the simpler things.  Although I'm not going to lie and say that the progress that we have made with vehicles isn't anything short of amazing.  I'm just stuck on the fact that it was so much easier and cheaper to fix if things when they needed it.
