Over 80 volunteers, the County of Yolo, Yolo Fire Protection District, Yolo Blacksmith, Yolo Market, Cache Creek High School, and dozens more generous businesses worked with the Friends and Yolo County Library to make this event special.

Families enjoyed walking among classic cars and trucks, listening to music by Rockwell Sound & Lighting with special guest DJs, viewing antique fire trucks from local fire departments, viewing a display of antique tractors and gas engines, and learning about automotive related recycling from Yolo County Integrated Waste Management. Kids also enjoyed free balloon twisting and activities at the Yolo Branch Library, including free books.

All funds from this event will be used by the Friends of the Yolo Branch Library to fund library programs and services for the communities of Yolo, Zamora, Dunnigan, and surrounding areas.
