i need to add a bit more info to this post. the town of rapid river is located in the south central u.p. of michigan. on highway US 2 the area code for this area is (906) i have been going to these shows for years and it is amazing how the small town folk here bend over backwards to put on this show. they actually close down main street have snow hauled in "if need be" to cover the street. there are some rather rare and intresting sleds every year at this show. it is well planned out and a great time for young and old alike. it is truly a trip back in time seeing some of these old machines running around.
