Our location here is sponsoring a car/truck show to benefit the Wellsville Vol. Fire Dept. I would really like to see as many people there as possible. It will be a real fun event and with all of the different types of vehicles that are on NYSPEED we should have good mix of vehicles. There will be the Balloon Rally Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning with the show on Saturday from 11am-4pm. There will be a $15 entry fee for the show, $5 for the burnout pit and other contests. ALL of the money goes to the fire dept. There will also be plenty of food and drinks so come for the show and stay to see the balloons launch at dinner time!
