The Bonnie & Clyde Days Festival, featuring live entertainment, a car and bike show, a poker run and more, is coming back to Reeds Spring this Saturday, October 24.
The family-friendly festival will take place at Reeds Spring City Field from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reeds Spring Event Committee Volunteer Angel Myer joined Josh Clark on The Upside 106.3 KRZK to share some insight into this year’s event.
“We’re going to have three live reenactments, I’ll have food trucks and concessions, vendors, live music. I’m doing a pre-war antique car show and then I’m doing an all car, all truck and all bike show together,” Myer said. “That morning we’ll start off with the poker run…the proceeds from that, what they raise, will go to FORR Local #15 for their Toy Run and then whoever wants to enter the bike show, that will be for the Bonnie & Clyde event fund.”
The three live re-enactments are scheduled for at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Music performances from Alanah Turner, the Reeds Spring High School Choir, Hailey Francisco & Band and The Flying Buzzards will take place throughout the day and dozens of vendors have also made plans to showcase their handmade crafts, boutique items, gifts, sweet treats and more during the festival.
Registration for the Bonnie & Clyde Days Car & Bike Show opens at 8 a.m. and the cost is $20 per vehicle. The Pre-War Antique Car Show is open to vehicles from 1900 to 1941 and the categories will include: Closed Car, Open Car, Best Touring and Best Commercial Truck. The All Cars, All Trucks & All Bikes Show will welcome all model years and the categories, with cars, trucks and bikes all being in separate categories.
People’s Choice voting for the car and bike show will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with awards being presented for 1st & 2nd place in each class, People’s Choice and Angel’s Choice. Trophies will be presented to ‘Best of Show Automobile’ and ‘Best of Show Bike,’ and all other winners will receive plaques.
For the Bonnie & Clyde Days Poker Run, riders will begin their journey at Club 22 at 9 a.m., proceed to Wise Guys, Wacky Jacks and Reeds Spring Pizza Company (in any order), and finish at the festival itself by 2 p.m. The cost is $20 per card, and entry is included with the purchase of a card. All proceeds from the Poker Run will be donated to FORR Local #15 Annual Toy Run benefiting residents in Stone & Taney counties.
