Lake Scott 2026 Rod Run - Saturday/Sunday August 15-16, 2026, Scott City, KS - This is a great show in the central park of Scott City, KS, and an easy drive from Colorado. I go on Friday (they have a great pre-show and BBQ on Friday night), stay for the show and go home on Saturday. This year they have a hog roast at 6:30pm on Saturday, so you could stay late for that, then go to the rolls & coffee on Sunday morning. Scott City is either 240 miles or 280 miles away from Colorado Springs, depending on your route. The longer route is I-70, and the shorter one is through the Kit Carson, CO charger. The map locator for Scott City, KS is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/reG9mzLV5p3pvtUTA . The nice thing about the Lake Scott show is that the local high school has an electric vehicle program that exhibits their competition cars at the show. The local utility, Wheatland Electric, usually brings an EV for local to test drive. It's a great extra at a show, and they welcome EV owners to show their cars. I've already pre-registered for the show on August 15-16, 2026. There is a great hotel in town, Best Western El-Quartelejo Inn & Suites, 1610 Main St, Scott City, KS 67871, phone (620) 872-7373.
