There was a large turnout for the 40th Annual Sespe Creek 4th of July Car Show on Central Avenue in downtown Fillmore. Pictured are some of the cars and activities offered. The band played on the steps of Fillmore City Hall while rows of horseshoe-men tried for a ringer—or double ringer! Photo credit Gazette staff.
