The classics come to Jefferson County Fair Park

Madison Classics’ 44th annual Fall Jefferson Car Show and Swap Meet took place under sunny skies this past weekend.

From Friday through Sunday, Jefferson County Fair Park was filled with vendors selling and spectators looking for vehicles, hard-to-find parts and memorabilia or both.

Featured vehicles exhibited in the Activity Center included a 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck owned by T.J. Schliewe of Ixonia, a 1948 Ford F-4 truck owned by Greg and Kristie Melcher of Watertown and a 1970 Chevrolet C10 truck owned by Mark and Billie Blank of Menasha.

“It’s a tradition,” show founder Gary Esse stated in the show program. “The City of Jefferson and surrounding communities have shown great support for our events and we have made many lifelong relationships here. We greatly appreciate that and thank everyone for 44 years and many more to come.”

The 45th annual Spring Jefferson Car Show and Swap Meet will take place at the fairgrounds April 22-24, 2022. It will feature 1960s muscle cars.

The Fall Jefferson Car Show and Swap Meet is scheduled for Sept. 23-25, 2022.
