1922 Bank Robbery
Saturday, September 12th, 2009
Immediately following the Antique Car Parade, witness the reinactment of that historic 1922 bank robbery where something went terribly wrong. (Loose lips sink ships!) This particular robbery "attempt" was also the first time a motorcar was used as a getaway vehicle in a bank robbery.
