Sidewalk sales added to Blissfield Aug. 8 car show

Walk down Lane Street Thursday evening and it may feel like a trip back in time with classic cars, 1950s music playing and sidewalk sales. From 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8 will be the third Blissfield Car and Bike Show of the summer, presented by Iott Insurance.

There will be a lot of activity in the downtown, said Blissfield Downtown Development Authority/Main Street Director Patricia Rayl. There will be sidewalk sales with participating downtown stores. There will be a raffle to support the Hospice of Lenawee, Rayl said in a press release. Exhibitors of cars and motorcycles will also be treated to door prizes and free samples from one of the downtown restaurants.

Car and bike exhibitors can register at the DDA/Main Street registration on the west side of the street. Lane Street from US 223 south as well as Jefferson Street from Giles to Pearl Street will be closed beginning at 4:30 p.m. For more information go to www.BlissfieldMainStreet.com.
