SYCAMORE – The 21st Fizz Ehrler Memorial Turning Back Time Car Show will return this year, welcoming thousands of car and motorcycle enthusiasts to Sycamore.

The event will be held 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 25, in downtown Sycamore.

This annual event is the second most popular Sycamore event of the year after Pumpkin Fest, bringing families and friends from surrounding states together.

A wide variety of automobiles will be on display during this year’s show, including street rods, street machines, rat rods, custom trucks, race cars, antiques, classics and more.

The automobiles come from hundreds of miles to compete for show trophies and to share their insights and knowledge with spectators.

The event’s primary goal is to raise funds for local non-profit entities and organizations, including: Kishwaukee Cancer Center, TransVAC, Sycamore Food Pantry, EAA Young Eagles, Salvation Army, The Barn on Baseline, Fizz Ehrler Memorial Scholarships, Sycamore Park District, Sycamore Police Auxiliary, Family Service Agency and more.

The Car Show began in 2000, starting from an idea from Chuck Criswell, the owner of Chuck’s Auto in Sycamore. The first show had 300 cars and a few hundred spectators. In recent years, the show has had more than 1,100 cars and motorcycles on display and thousands of visitors.

The event is made possible by volunteers and sponsors, including Auto Meter, Accurate Towing, DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport, Meijer Foods, Country Store and Catering, Sycamore Veterans Club, Sycamore Park District, Slow Smoke BBQ, O’Donnell Crane Service, Johnson Canvas Shop, DeKalb/Sycamore Auto Group, Cub and Spanks, and the about 100 area companies participating in the car show.
