AMANA, Iowa- Throwback Saturday is set for August 15, 2015 in the Amana Colonies and will feature over 80 Model A Vehicles as part of the festivities.  An entire street will be temporarily closed for part of the day as the Models A cars and trucks take over that section of the village.  The cars will be on display from approximately 10am to 3pm.

Along with the vintage vehicles there will be special foods available on the street including German style potato pancakes and some special entrees in the Amana Colonies' restaurants.  Many of the shops that sell ice cream will be offering specials on root beer floats, sundaes and adult ice cream drinks.

Additional special events for the day include music at the Visitor Center by the Blue Grass band "The Riverbottom Ramblers" from 2pm-4pm and that evening Millstream Brewery will feature live music and food in their beer garden.   The Old Creamery Theatre will perform the comedy "Shear Madness" at 7:30 on their main stage and White Cross Cellars will feature a food and wine pairing class at 6pm.

The numerous antique shops and galleries of the Amana Colonies will also be featured the entire weekend as each will offer a special display of vintage treasures.
