Old-Fashioned Saturday Night - July 17th

In less than two weeks is Haxtun's annual Old-Fashioned Saturday Night. The big event of the day is the car show, but there are several other things going on, too:

Old Fashioned Saturday Night Schedule:
  • Garage sales will happen all over town starting at 8am
  • Farmers Market on main street from 9am-11am (see details below)
  • Poker Run starts at the Haxtun Fire Department between 9:30-11am. The prizes start at $1,000!
  • Car show registration 3-5pm on main street (or pre-register by calling the town hall 970-774-6104).
  • Vendors will have games, food, toys, etc on main street starting at 3pm
  •  Hog Roast at the Fire Hall 5-7pm
  • Burn-out contest on main street 7:30 pm
  • Pitch tournament at the Haxtun Community Center at 7pm.
  • Dance at the American Legion 9pm - 1am
The car show is the main event that everything else centers around. The cars park up and down main street, which is quite a site! It usually draws vehicles from all over the state (and probably from other states, too). Awards are given out in the following categories: original intent, daily driver, late model, motorcycle, truck, street rod, classic, dare to be different, and mayor's choice.

Here's a map of Haxtun with all the important locations marked for those who aren't local. By the way, when I say "main street" I'm talking about S. Colorado Ave - turn north off Hwy 6 and go past the railroad tracks. You'll have to park on adjacent streets or at the far north end.

I'm actually in charge of organizing the Farmer's Market for the Chamber of Commerce! It's been a little slow in the making because most gardens aren't producing much yet and a lot of the locals are tied up in wheat harvest for the next few weeks. I'd really appreciate if you all would help me spread the word! Anyone with homegrown, homemade, or handmade products can sell at the Farmer's Market. There is no fee! Just send me an email at susan@ourhaxtunlife.com if you want to sell so that I can give you instructions about where to set up! Spread the word!
