Forget those fancy new millenium cars! Show me some Model T!  The Ray Behnke Memorial Road Rally  held on Sunday of Hog Days weekend does just that. This event showcases antique cars from throughout the area...both Model T's and the "newer" Model A's from the late 1920s!

Ray Behnke was a hard core Model T enthusiast who got things going in 1968. Officially added to the Hog Fest schedule in 1969, it's been going strong ever since!

Back in the day a 40 mile race was held.  Then one day, the insurance companies said they didn't think racing near priceless antiques on the public streets was such a good idea. So nowadays we hold a rally and do a poker draw to determine who wins prizes.

Now that it's a rally, drivers are allowed to carry passengers and most will give rides to anyone who wants to imagine what the world was like back when horses still ruled! Model T's were built between 1907 and 1927.   "Newer" Model A's, built between 1927 and 1931, were allowed into the rally for the first time in 2004.

The most recent rally saw over 40 of these classic cars come to town from across the Midwest. There is a $10 fee to enter your antique vehicle in the rally but it's well worth the price of admission.  And it's absolutely free to come and watch! The entry form for this event is available here.
