Galaxie Gathering Number 28 was held on Sunday, July 18, 2010 beginning at 9:30 am as part of the 41st Annual Ford & Mercury Restorer's Club of America "Dearborn 2010" Car Show at the Wayne County Fairgrounds. This was our third year of attending this show as a club, and our second of three July events. Despite the forecast for some dicey weather early in the afternoon, the Dearborn 2010 car show was a great time, and the 600-vendor swap meet, food, bathrooms, etc. helped to make for a great day. The car show was FREE, with each show car occupant paying only $5 admission at the gate.
