Pioneer Street Rods plan Car Show and Swap Meet in Butte

It is finally time for area motorheads to get their wheels out of the garage and out on the streets where they belong. Or better yet, how about an early car show where they can be properly appreciated? The Pioneer Street Rods are planning a car show and swap meet for May 20 at the Maroon Activities Center at 550 E. Mercury. This event is a great chance to not only catch up with old friends, get a part or two but to check out some of the sweetest rides in Southwest Montana and have a great time as well.
