“Just like for the past three decades, this year’s event is going to be an incredible display of hundreds  of marvels of automotive excellence,” Officer Ryan Grimes said in a news release. “You don’t have to be an auto expert to enjoy this terrific event, which helps us continue our educational outreach in the schools.”
The day also marks the first day you can pick your own apples at Liberty Apple Orchard. That event begins at noon.
The Orchard, located at 8308 Kuhn Station Road, also has its farm market. This year, there will also be apple-baked goods from 222 Artisan Bakery.
