10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine
Kendall County Fairgrounds
(on Rte. 71, just west of Rte. 47 in Yorkville)
 For discontinued marques or models at least twenty years old, this 20th Annual Orphan Auto Picnic celebrates 50 years of the Corvair.
This year, our Orphan Car Picnic will be a joint event between the Chicagoland MG Club and the Vintage MG Car Club. We will have a dedicated all MG area staked out so we may park as a group, however we can hold the area only until 11:00 AM, so please plan on arriving before the cutoff time. Don't forget to call Bill to reserve a space.
The event has no entrance fee and hot BBQ grills and beverages (including beer) are provided. There is a large raffle at 3 PM, and the entire event is financed by the sale of the tickets. So all you need to bring is the food you want to grill or share, and some dollars for the raffle. It's always a great time with a lot of cars at the Kendall County Fairgrounds!
Bill and Scotty Cole are the inter-club coordinators, so call with questions, or else details, directions, and other useful information can be found in the flyer that can be downloaded at:

Please inform Bill Cole @ (847) 437-2036, if you will be coming so we can know how many spaces to reserve.
