We imagine that's what all the horse owners were saying in 1908 when arriving on the scene were these new gadgets called horseless carriages. Surely, there was nothing left to invent now! And now you can spend part of your Hog Days weekend checking out the latest in 1908 technology! The Ray Behnke Memorial Road Rally held on Sunday of Hog Days weekend does just that. This event showcases antique cars from throughout the area...both Model T's manufactured from 1908 thru 1927 and the "newer" Model A's from the late 1920s! |

| Spectators look over rolling history. Car number 15, a Model T owned and driven by Maurice Yepsen of Kewanee and number 16, a Model A owned and driven by Don Tomsic, also of Kewanee, line up before the start of the Ray Behnke Memorial Road Rally. |

Spectators check out close up one of the Ray Behnke Model T's. |

The most recent rally saw over 40 of these classic cars come to town from across the Midwest. There is a $10 fee to enter your antique vehicle in the rally but it's well worth the price of admission. And it's absolutely free to come and watch! The entry form for this event is available here. |

| Roy and Audrey Bognar of Kewanee pass a corn field near the Lone Tree Corner west of Kewanee in their Model A. | Rick Baker of Plainfield, and his navigator, head west on West South Street near Kewanee Hospital in a Model T. | |
