Brimfield Auto Show

October 8, 2022 — The Brimfield Auto Show has changed its name and location, but both only slightly. Formerly called the Brimfield Antique Auto Show, they have eliminated Antique from the title, opening it up to a more inclusive show, welcoming cars of all ages right up to the present. It does seem to have made the show much larger compared to previous years. They've also moved a few blocks on Route 20 from Heart-o-the-Mart to larger fields adjacent to the Brimfield Winery. Brimfield is located in central Massachusetts in an area known as the Pioneer Valley.

Personally, I preferred the Heart-o-the-Mart location. Opening up the show to models of all years has indeed resulted in a significant increase in cars, but even with the increased space, the show was over-crowded and over-busy. Cars were coming in almost all day, and by mid-day incoming and outgoing cars, maneuvering around spectators, were creating minor traffic jams. Long lines were forming at food vendors and comfort stations.

Those complaints aside, it was a productive show for photography. Proof of that can be seen on my website pages:
