Come celebrate the premiere of Rust to Redemption—a journey through time and miles. The premiere happens on Saturday, October 4th starting at 5pm at Tribus Beer Company in Milford.
What started as 1947 Autocar concrete truck then left to rot in a Tennessee field has been reborn. Brought back home to Milford, it was transformed into a patina hot rod and, against all odds, driven across America on the legendary Route 66.

What to Expect: • Raffles with great prizes • Live music • Local vendors • Live painting • Flash tattoos • Live T-shirt printin • Food by @steakinit • Tribus craft beer • Patina on display • Good times with the community
