Throwback Saturday features over 80 Model A Vehicles

AMANA, Iowa- Throwback Saturday is set for August 19, 2017 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 Model 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 at the Amana Colonies’ restaurants. 

Additional special events for the day include live music at Millstream Brewery with food in their beer garden.   The Old Creamery Theatre will perform the musical “Guys on Ice: The Ice Fishing Musical” at 7:30 on their main stage and White Cross Cellars will feature a food and wine pairing class at 6pm.

 B.R.I.C. (Bike Ride of Iowa County) will enjoy its 2nd year.  This 47 mile round trip bike ride from the Williamsburg to the Amana Colonies to Marengo to Fireside Winery and back to Williamsburg features music, food, and beverages at several of its stops.  The bike ride raises money for the Eastern Iowa Honor Flights and has a $40 registration fee.
