Temperatures approaching 105F (41-42C) didn't stop people by the thousands turning out at the Grants Pass Riverside Park to view the 300 plus cars on display there as part of the 19th Annual Towne Centre Assn. "Back to the Fifties" Celebration. While strictly speaking many of the cars were newer than the 50's I don't think anyone cared with so many beautifully prepared cars to check out. The car show was just on of the activities organised as part of the "Back to the Fifties" Celebration, with a Concert in the Park earlier in the week, a Poker Run midweek, local shops with Friday sidewalk sales, Friday night 50's dress up and then the Saturday car show, more sales, a free evening concert featuring top line Elvis & Jerry Lee Lewis impersonators and a Classic car cruise featuring over 550 cars.
