Labor Day Celebration and Car Show

Below is information I received about the annual Labor Day Celebration and Car Show held at South Park tomorrow from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Come see antique cars, eat good food and celebrate the backbone of America's work force. I hope to see you there.

LABOR DAY CAR SHOW TO INCLUDE CARS FROM JOHNNY DEPP FILM

Several of the antique cars dating from before 1934 that were used in the filming of the Johnny Deep movie, “Public Enemies” will be shown at South Park for the Labor Day celebration of the Winnebago Labor Council.

Invitations have been sent to the owners of many of the cars used in the film, asking them to come to Oshkosh for the show. Many antique cars from the thirties were used in the filming on location in Oshkosh, Columbus, Milwaukee and Chicago. The film is set in the 1930’s and stars Johnny Depp as bank robber John Dillinger. The movie was completed in July, but will not be ready for release until July of 2009.

Admission is free for the Labor Day Celebration and car show starting at 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Labor Day, September 1st. Refreshments, door prizes, including a raffle for 2009 Country USA tickets; and live music by Joe Maehl and the Supervisors, will be offered in the large pavilion at South Park.
