🚘 What's Happening at the Freeport Ford Booth:
👶 Mini-Ford Test Drive
We’re bringing our brand-new Mini-Ford Test Drive to the Stephenson County Fair for the very first time! This hands-on ride-on track is designed just for kids 8 and under. After being a huge hit at the Tutty Baker Festival, we knew we had to bring it to the fair. Watch your little ones light up as they take the wheel of a mini Ford Bronco or Lightning—it’s the ultimate photo op and pure fair magic.
🎡 The Giant Prize Wheel
Older kids can step up and take a spin on our giant prize wheel to win fun surprises. It’s just one more way we’re keeping the energy high and the smiles coming at the Freeport Ford booth!
⚡ All-Electric Tailgate Powered by the Ford Lightning
Experience the future of tailgating with our display powered entirely by the Ford F-150 Lightning. Check out Ford’s electric vehicle lineup, including the Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E, and learn how EV power can do more than just get you from A to B—it can power your whole party.
