The Stephenson County Fair is a summertime staple in Freeport—and this year, Freeport Ford went all out to make our booth a crowd favorite. From a high-powered vehicle lineup to mini test drives for the kids and a $200 Casey’s gift card raffle, we were thrilled to bring the horsepower, the fun, and the giveaways to one of our favorite local events.
The Booth with All the Buzz
Set up front and center, the Freeport Ford booth became a hot spot for families, fairgoers, and auto fans alike. Our Ford Adventure Track Mini Test Drive was back and better than ever, giving kids the thrill of driving their own mini Broncos around a specially designed course.
The track originally wrapped around a real showstopper—our Ford Mustang GT—but after that beauty was snatched up and sold, we swapped it out for a full-sized Ford Bronco. The Bronco wasn’t just sitting pretty either—we removed the doors and roof to show off its full summer-ready, open-air capabilities. Talk about fair-weather fun!
Raffle Alert: $200 Casey’s Gift Card Giveaway
To add even more excitement, we held a raffle for a $200 Casey’s gift card, and fairgoers lined up for a chance to win. Fuel, pizza, snacks—you name it, $200 at Casey’s goes a long way. It was just one more way we gave back to the community we love.
Ford’s Finest on Display
If you were in the market for a new vehicle—or just love looking at what Ford has to offer—our booth was the place to be. We had an impressive lineup of new and popular models, including:
- Ford Bronco Sport
- Ford Escape
- Ford Expedition Tremor
- Ford Lightning (with onboard power features on display)
- Ford Mustang Mach-E
- Ford Transit-250
- Ford Transit-350
- Ford Ranger
- Ford Raptor
Whether you’re into off-road beasts, family-ready SUVs, or cutting-edge EVs, we had something for everyone to explore. Our team was on-site to answer questions, open doors (literally), and show you all the high-tech features and rugged versatility Ford is known for.
Community, Connection, and Cars
Events like the Stephenson County Fair give us the opportunity to connect with our neighbors, showcase what makes Ford special, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it. From the kids zooming around the Adventure Track to the parents eyeing that Bronco (doors off, of course), we had a blast interacting with our community and being part of such a beloved event.

Royal Riders: Stephenson County Pageant Winners Hit the Track
One of the most memorable moments from the fair? When the newly crowned Stephenson County Pageant winners made a special stop at the Freeport Ford booth to test out the Adventure Track Mini Bronco. These local royalty members may usually ride in convertibles during parades, but at the fair, they opted for something with a little more horsepower (and way more fun).
They not only took a lap in our mini Broncos, but also posed for photos with the full-sized Bronco that was displayed in the center of the track. It was doors-off, roof-off, and full summer mode—making it the perfect backdrop for a photo fit for a queen. And yes, we’ll be sharing that epic moment too.
