Default Model A Day in Sharon WI?

Does anyone know if Model A Day in Sharon WI will be held this year, and if so when (I think it's usually the first Sunday in June)? My daughter and family live near Madison and I'm thinking that I could schedule a trip from California to Wisconsin to visit the grandkids (and their parents, of course) and attend if it's being held. I have emailed the Village of Sharon to ask but have not received a response. Lots of Google hits on the 2021 event but nothing I've found on 2022.

Thanks.

JayJay

I believe it is typically hosted by the Rock-Ford A's.

Their contact information is on the MARC page;

Yes. Rockford A's. And yes, Model A Day in Sharon has already held a couple meetings for this year's event. As usual first Sunday in June, which is June 5th.
So schedule your family visit to include Model A Day in Sharon, Usually 200+ Model A's. Pig roast at noon. Hope to see everyone in Sharon this year.

Great, thanks for the responses, Mike and WTSHNN. I'll plan to be there. Goal in a couple of years when I get my Town Sedan in good condition is to drive it from California to the event.

JayJay, I drove my Tudor there last year from SoCal. I had a great time there with lots of folks from the area. Don’t forget to get your ice cream cone while you’re there.

Dennis made a big hit with all of the local waitresses at the Coffee Cup Restaurant last year. They are all wishing for him to return soon…..

Here is a video taste of MAD in Sharon, WI last year.:

Thanks, Ron. But just to clarify, the first Sunday in June 2022 is the 5th, not the 6th. Typo I presume?

Ron: Welcome to Ford Barn! Good to read your post about Sharon.
Speaking of the Model A parts for sale at Sharon, if you are coming a distance, you might consider making up a laundry lost of things you need. Since there is no charge to parts vendors, there are always a lot of parts for sale. Last year I found a nice original late 28-29 ratchet jack for 40 bucks with original paint to good to repaint. Been looking for years.

Just to close the loop (and thanks for all the replies) - I did hear back from [email protected] and Model A Day was confirmed for the first Sunday in June.

Now in addition to the Model A hats that are always being sold to help with the RockFord A's funding of hosting this annual Model A Day event. There will be a limited number of these coffee cups being sold at the RFA's registration tent.

The Rock Ford As just got in their shipment of the 25th Anniversary Hats to be sold at this year’s Model A Day in Sharon, WI on Sunday, June 5th.

This hat is featuring a Model A Firetruck Pickup that was owned by RFAs member Dan Campbell.

When you attend Model A Day this year be sure to stop by the RFAs registration tent and purchase a hat or coffee cup or both to help defray the rising costs of putting on this annual Free event to all comers…. Thank you.
