Factory Five Open House – June 4th, 9 AM to 1 PM

This will be our 19th Annual Factory Five Open House event!  It’s hard to believe that we’ve been hosting this event for 19 years, and many of our friends and customers were at the very first one.  This fun one day show includes car show awards, plant tours, live music, our famous Scratch & Dent Sale, and free food (hot dogs sort of qualify)!
