Visitors came from all over north central Montana and Canada to join in the fun.
More than forty cars plus several bikes and tractors lined main street during the show. The town of Turner swelled as several hundred people descended on the community to take part in the fun.
The 241 Grill and Tavern served a Barbecue dinner throughout the day and the Stonebroke String band was on hand to provide the entertainment.
In addition the Big Flat Grocery store added to the celebration providing tasty treats throughout the day including Root Beer Floats and Banana Splits.

The streets of Turner were lined with entries and people browsing the many vehicles that were brought to the Annual Car and Tractor Show. The Big Flat Grocery Store also celebrated throughout the day with homemade crepes, Root beer floats, and banana Splits. It was a real treat and such an awesome idea for them to join in the fun!
The Classic and Best in Show winner was won by Warren Brown of Swift Current. Warren showed his 1968 Chevy Impala Super Sport car. Although he didn't do all the exterior work himself, he did do all the mechanical work himself while putting it back to it's original condition. It is a beauty, that's for sure.
The Best Pickup Award went to Bobby Sheppard of Havre. His 1976 F600 pickup is a "step above the rest" as you walk past it and see how lifted it is. It's a real winner in it's own class. He did all the mechanical work himself in the restoration process.
The winning Tractor exhibit went to Gavin Maloney. Gavin's 1949 Farmall M Row Crop Tractor took the top prize, he and his brother Garrett also showed three other tractors. They have had a lot of fun working in their shop all winter restoring and polishing.
The Best Street Rod Award was presented to Kirsti Cederberg. She and her husband, Max entered their 1937 Plymouth.
Their was a street dance held in the evening and when the sun set it put the finishing touches on a fantastic day in Turner.
