River City Street Rods Custom Car Show
Do not miss the River City Street Rods annual car show (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) to see some of the most amazing custom cars you have ever seen! The North Iowa Events Center (3700 4th Street Southwest) will be filled with vehicles dating from 1959 until today. Over 100 trophies will be handed out, including for speciality awards such as Best in Show, Best Engine, and Best Custom Paint. The cost to enter the show is $10. Along with the cars, enjoy food from Black Dog BBQ, a beer garden, craft vendors, and more.
Take-A-Kid Fishing Tournament
Share your love of fishing with your kids! Head to McIntosh State Park (1200 East Lake Street) for the Clear Lake Fishing Club’s family fun fishing event. Fish with your team from the shoreline or out on the lake. Teams can include one adult and up to two children (ages 16 and under). All participants will receive food and a fishing related prize! This tournament is more about fun than competition, though any fish caught is eligible for a weigh in. There will also be great information for kids to learn about the types of fish in the lake and basic fishing techniques during the special DNR seminar (8:30 am). The competition begins at 10:00 am.
