The annual chicken barbeque in Rockwell

 

     It was the 50th annual chicken barbeque in Rockwell on Sunday, August 14, as hundreds of people showed up to visit, eat a good meal, and see some beautiful cars.

     There was a new aspect to the event this year, instead of bulls and steers at a rodeo, there was horsepower and classic cars.

     The annual event is used as a fundraiser for the Rockwell Aquatic Center and judging by the crowds of people, the event was a hit among residents. There were pounds of chicken and sweet corn sold, and liters of soda.

     There were dozens of cars showcased at Ziegler Park in Rockwell, everything from modern day mustangs to model T’s.
