Gear up now for the 2nd Annual World's Largest Catsup Bottle Birthday Bash and Custom 'n' Classic Car 'n' Truck Show! This family-style street festival will be held on Main Street in downtown Collinsville, Illinois on Sunday, July 2, 2000 from 8:00 am 'til 5:00 pm. Music, food, & fun for everyone! Children's activities area, games, contests, special celebrity guests, attendance prizes, and more will highlight the day.

Help celebrate the "50-oneth" anniversary of the world-famous Brooks Catsup Bottle water tower. What could be better than a red, white & blue 4th of July weekend party for this incredible example of 20th century roadside America? A nation-wide, grassroots community effort saved this landmark from demolition and restored it to its original glory in 1995.

Everyone is invited and urged to get involved! This event is presented by Pieces of History Auto Club and the Illinois Main Street office of Downtown Collinsville, Inc.
