There was a car show with nearly every model of vintage and modern Volkswagen on display. Over on the grass venders were selling everything from cars and car parts to t-shirts and hats. There was even one booth with vintage toys and Coca-Cola items. And lets not forget the VW Hot Wheels Drag Racing for the "kids".

MADERA - The 81st annual Old Timers Day Parade stepped off Saturday morning in downtown Madera. The event, sponsored by the original Madera Kiwanis Club, has taken place in Madera since 1931 (except for a few years for a World War). This years parade had 57 entries, which included bands from Madera and Chowchilla schools and of course politicians.

This year's Grand Marshal was Tom Schoettler who, along with his wife, were driven in the parade by their son Kenny. Mr. Schoettler is the owner of Schoettler Tire and has been a long time support of youth sports and Madera High School. The King and Queen for this years parade was Mr. Bill Wood and Mrs. Lorraine Ocheltree.

MADERA - There are three days in the books for the 2012 edition of the Madera District Fair. On Saturday the community gathered to support the kids from the FFA and 4H with the Junior Livestock Auction.

Last year, the fair set a record with the amount of money raised and this year it is expected to be even bigger. A goat sold for $27 dollars a pound, a turkey sold for over $700; with numbers like this that goal should be easy to achieve.

thevalleyguy: They killed Pike! BS. He is supposed to be Stephen Hawkins. Paramount can't mess with the history of the story. I am not happy.
thevalleyguy: I am very disappointed in what the #ChowchillaFair has allowed the #LittleMissMadera pageant has become. It used to be about innocence.
