42 Annual Dunkirk Automotive Flea Market Car Corral Car Show
Dunkirk, NY Chautauqua County Fairgrounds
Hosted by Chautauqua Lake Region AACA
    Opened Futurliner for display at 8:00 AM. Day was partially cloudy with a light breeze.
    Saturday, May 22 - Delayed opening Futurliner at 8:30 AM due to overcast windy conditions. Waited to see if weather improved before opening light bar. Eventually opened light bar and about thirty minutes  later it rained and blew so hard the stage area became soaked before we could close everything up. Rain continued about one hour. We had been able to set up the souvenir tables inside a building at the forward end of  the Futurliner and during the rain.
    Light rain continued off and on all the remainder of the day. The weather did finally stabilize in the afternoon to just windy conditions without rain.
    Sunday, May 23 - Opened Futurliner at 8:00 AM. Beautiful warm sunny day with some clouds in the sky.  The car show started about 10:00 AM and lasted until 3:00 PM. We closed up the Futurliner and had it loaded on the trailer heading back to Grand Rapids by 4:30PM.

The Futurliner arrives at the 42nd Annual Dunkirk, NY Flea Market & Car Corral show at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds. Our hosts were the Chautauqua Lake Region Antique Automobile Club.

It takes a number of volunteers and a few hours time to clean off all of the road grime prior to show-time.

We had three different setups at Dunkirk during the time we were there. This one on the edge of a field.

This one in front of a building.

And this one, on an angle in front of the building.

Show-time is over, and the Futurliner is off to it's next destination.
