Saturday, Aug. 13, was a busy day in a busy weekend in and around Waterbury with the Vermont 100 on 100 Relay road race and the 65th Vermont Antique and Classic Car Meet. 

On Saturday morning, teams of 2-6 runners each in the 100-mile relay started at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe and raced through Waterbury and Duxbury headed down Vermont Route 100 to the finish in Ludlow.

In the afternoon, a parade of old-time vehicles entertained onlookers as it stopped traffic from Farr's Field to downtown as part of the Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts’ 65th Vermont Antique and Classic Car Meet. 

An evening street party with tunes from WDEV filled lower Stowe Street with attendees, onlookers, and many classic vehicles.
