Atkinson Truck and Car Show

September 3, 2018 — The MacDonald Memorial Truck and Car Show, an annual Labor Day event in Atkinson, New Hampshire, was held this year on a 90-degree day with high humidity, one of many such days this summer. With the humidity, the heat index made it feel like at least mid-90s. This didn't seem to discourage anyone, as number of cars and spectators was about average for this show. As usual, there were many Model A Fords, and a variety of other models, including a row of military vehicles.

The show is sponsored by the Atkinson Lions Club and the Atkinson Fire Association. Vehicles were spread out over Dow Common, the fire department and Atkinson Historic Association properties, and lined up along Academy Avenue. It's all free, but donations are encouraged. All proceeds from donations and food sales go to local charities.

The show broke up early. It officially ended at 2 p.m., but cars were beginning to leave around noon, some even earlier, probably because of the heat, which got to be overwhelming in a short time. However, I had time to get photos of all the vehicles that interested me, and I hope you as well. You can view them at this link:
