I have been to and covered a couple of car shows over the years, and it’s interesting to see these vehicles that are taken care of quite well by their owners.
One of our haunts is the Greenville VFW, and yes, they had a car show sponsored by Ford’s Transmission, on Saturday morning and afternoon. And, I guess there were a couple of other shows in the area as well, including one at Reier’s Auto Service and another one out of county, I am thinking.
Since I am helping out with the VFW newsletter, I decided to feature the show in the next issue; thus, I brought the company camera and took some photos at the end of the show. Gaylen Blosser, for whom I work, was also there, I heard, with his camera and took some shots for My County Link.
It was a lot of walking for me, so I just stood in one general area mainly and did my thing. I loved listening to the music of Jeff Rearick from the singing group, Vintage 3.
Outstanding!
The vehicles I saw were awesome as well.
Everybody seemed to be having a good time, and a lot of them left soon after the awards; I am sure headed for one of the other two shows.
I heard there were 96 vehicles registered. They included five trucks, three motorcycles, and the rest cars.
Mike Ford and Dave Cline, organizers of the show, expressed their appreciation to all who attended and participated, those who donated prizes that were given away, including a 50/50, and to all of the volunteers who helped make it possible, including Connie Brinley, who prepared the food that was available.
Keep it up, you proud owners of these vintage and classic vehicles! They make for a great show. And, thanks to Mike and Dave for organizing this event.
