Annual Lamar Days Rod Run
2022-05-20 - 2022-05-21 | Willow Creek Park, Rotary Way, Lamar, CO, 81052
Since before 1995, the Lamar community has enjoyed the annual Lamar Days Rod Run, which features a Car Show, Poker Run, Concessions, Parade, Vendor Booths, and more! The next event will be May 20-21, 2022, at Willow Creek Park in Lamar, Colorado.
Lamar Days Rod Run Celebrates its 26th Anniversary
Founder Ron Cook reflects on how one small event evolved into a community-wide celebration
In 1995, three Rons—Austin, Mulberry, and Cook—united by their love of the community and older cars and motorcycles, started a car show in their hometown of Lamar, Colorado. They named the event The Lamar Days Rod Run and set up shop in the Cow Palace Motel parking lot.
Fast forward to 2021 and The Lamar Days Rod Run is celebrating its 26th anniversary, making it the perfect time for Ron Cook, who now runs the event with his wife Lonna, to reflect on how the event has grown and become embraced by the Lamar community.
Today, The Lamar Days Rod Run is held at Willow Creek Park and hosts roughly 30 vendor booths and 10 food trucks in addition to 200 cars and motorcycles from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska. It is a weekend-long event, attracting 2,000 visitors from across Colorado and beyond.
More importantly, the event showcases the support and dedication from the Lamar community, the benefits of tourism in a rural Colorado, the strength of the relationships among the classic car and motorcycle community, and the wonders Lamar has to offer—kindness, hospitality, and a safe and family-friendly place to gather with family and friends.
Community Involvement
Since its inception, nearly 30 local businesses have financially supported the Lamar Days Rod Run Car Show, either directly or by offering door prizes. Marketing support also comes from the Prowers County Tourism Panel, a local group of volunteers who promote tourism on The Great High Prairie. With this incredible support, the Lamar Days Rod Run has not only grown year after year, but it has also offered door prizes as big as a $400 gift certificate to a local tire shop.
When The Lamar Days Rod Run first moved from the Cow Palace Hotel to Willow Park in 2000, The Lamar Chamber of Commerce asked to be involved. It helped bring in the event’s first food vendors, vendor booths, and games for kids to play. Over the years, the Chamber even ran a dog show, a fashion show, and more.
The Lamar Rotary club is also involved, hosting a ducky dash. So too are the local fire departments and police departments, which bring all their vehicles down to the park for kids to explore. The local Boy Scout Troop 218 presents the flag on Saturday at 12 pm during a flag ceremony.
“Come join us at Lamar Days for our car show and enjoy being with fellow car show enthusiasts. We have a wonderful time reuniting with friends and meeting new ones every year, ” says Ron Cook
The 26th Annual Lamar Days Rod Run Schedule of Events
Friday
The Lamar Chamber of Commerce hosts a Welcome to Lamar lunch followed by an evening beer garden and street dance.
At 6 pm, The Lamar Days Rod Run and The Lamar Police Department host the No Booze Cruise, while the Lamar Fire Department hosts the Poker Run, both events starting at the Sonic Drive-In in Lamar.
During the Poker Run, police ride around town pulling cards at several designated stops, and the best hand at the end of the night wins half the pot, with the other half going toward the Lamar Fire Department’s Fireworks Fund.
Saturday
The car show kicks off at 8 am in Willow Creek Park. With dozens of cool cars and motorcycles, vendors, and more, this year’s event promises to be the biggest yet—and perhaps the most anticipated after the 2020 show was canceled due to COVID-19.
The Lamar Day parade will start its route downtown at 10 am. This year’s theme is “The Spirit of Country Comes Alive.” So, get ready for floats, horses, fire trucks, street rods, and more, with haybales, sunflowers, and other country paraphernalia.
The Lamar Days Rod Run Awards and Cool Cars
After Ron Austin passed away and Ron Mulberry moved out of town, Ron and Lonna Cook took the reins to run the event. Looking back over the years, Ron fondly remembers several unique cars that have participated in the event. These include a bright red 1953 Nash Station Wagon called the “Little Red Wagon” and a 1929 Ford Pick called “Smokin’ Joes.” To commemorate the fantastic cars and motorcycles that enter the event each year, Ron and Lonna Cook award the top 30 cars and the top 20 motorcycles.
Ron and Lonna Cook also award the Ron Austin Memorial Award, in commemoration of event founder Ron Austin who passed away in 2001. This award is the Rod Run’s Best of Show, and the winner is featured in the following year’s media and marketing materials.
“For the Ron Austin Award, Ron’s son Cameron picks out the winning car every year. He not only chooses the car he thinks his dad would like, but he tries to learn the story behind each vehicle and presents the award in part based on a car’s sentimental value,” says Lonna Cook.
And in honor of “Moon Man,” who played music in the car show circuit for over 30 years, The Moon Man award is given to his family’s pick for the best car.

Motorcycle Cannonball
2023-09-17 11:00 - 13:00 | Colorado Welcome Center, 109 E Beech St B, Lamar, CO, 81052
The Great High Prairie is excited to be hosting lunch for the Motorcycle Cannonball at the Colorado Welcome Center in Lamar. Bring your family down to enjoy all the motorcycles and fun.

The Motorcycle Cannonball is a cross-country challenge for riders with motorcycles that were manufactured in 1933 or earlier and is the most difficult antique endurance run in the world.

This year’s event will see close to 100 riders traversing the back roads of the United States. We will depart from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and arrive in Oceanside, California, for this 17-day endurance run covering 3,800 miles. This endeavor is extremely challenging, as riders and machines could endure fatigue, mental exhaustion, cold, heat, elevations, and all the ferocious elements of Mother Nature, not to mention the demands of keeping their vintage machines in running order. Riders will navigate the Motorcycle Cannonball course with the assistance of paper maps (no GPS routing allowed).

The High Plains Snow Goose Festival
2024-02-02 - 2024-02-04 | Lamar, Colorado, Lamar, Colorado
In February, when the fields and reservoirs of Southeastern Colorado turn white—not from snow but from the large white geese arriving by the thousands during their traditional migration to their winter roosts—it’s time, once again, for the annual High Plains Snow Goose Festival, one of the largest birding festivals in Colorado.
Families, bird watchers, and a variety of outdoor enthusiasts come to Lamar each February to see the arctic waterfowl as they arrive via the Western Central Flyway that includes Colorado, New Mexico, and the Texas Panhandle.
Prowers County’s scattered ponds, lakes, and reservoirs are waterfowl magnets, and the Snow Goose is no exception. In recent decades, their population has been exploding as they currently have a breeding population approaching 6 million, a sizable chunk of which migrate right through southeastern Colorado.
Not only are these geese beautiful to see, but the sound of tens of thousands of large white geese flapping their wings as they rise from the water is not something easily forgotten.
Event Programs
A family friendly event, the festival offers a variety of programs for both adults and children. Field trips, games, tours, and seminars will celebrate birding and the heritage of Southeastern Colorado. Whether you are a seasoned birder or an amateur wanting to learn more or just interested in the event, you’ll be getting together with others to learn and explore.
Event registration is free and numerous programs are offered at no charge. However, field trips range in price depending on the length of the program and if meals are provided. Tours take guests to Two Buttes Reservoir, John Martin Reservoir, Willow Creek, Camp Amache, and Picture and Carrizo Canyons, south of Lamar – make sure to register for tours as they can fill up fast.
