Old cars converge on Mahtowa

It’s that time of year again: the Rat Rod Rendezvous is happening again in Mahtowa. Sept. 3 is “Shine on Saturday,” a day for more traditional classic cars and bikes with paint jobs that gleam in the sunlight, while Sept. 4 is “Rusty Sunday.” Think Rat Rods and other creative iterations of the past. Car shows run both days from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with awards at 2:30 p.m. There will be live music Saturday from 2-5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Also Sunday, a burnout and muffler rap contest and a pin-up contest by the Border Town Betties.
