Ready for Downtown Saturday Nite?

Downtown Eaton will roar to life once again on Saturday, Aug. 26, as the 25th annual Old Fashioned Downtown Saturday Nite brings an evening of live music, vintage automobiles, motorcycles, and good old-fashioned family fun.

This year’s car and truck show will run from 2-7 p.m. Pre-registration is now available for both car show participants and those wishing to take part in the second annual Old Fashioned Pinup Pageant & Contest.
