Muscle cars, old-style pickup trucks, motorcycles and antique tractors all had their place surrounding the Freestone County Courthouse square in downtown Fairfield, Texas this past weekend.
Vendors offered a variety of items, organizations sold fundraisers, and local shops dealt poker hands to visiting customers.
What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
