A fun summer tradition took place last weekend when a unique car show returned to Branson.

The 16th Annual Sleds Midwest Car Show and Cruise returned to Branson. The car show, held on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, is a custom car show, featuring only vehicles manufactured prior to

1980. The show is dedicated to pre-1980s custom vehicles and rods.

By definition, a “sled” is a standard production automobile with a body heavily modified in particular ways.

The event, held August 18 - 20, featured dozens of custom cars and trucks on display as well as fun for the entire family. Activities

included a delicious Friday feast, a flame-throwing contest, music, movie night and more.

The highlight of the weekend was the annual Dam Cruise. The weekend’s fun culminated in an awards show, which was held on Sunday afternoon.
