A Great Day For A Car Show

WeissCarShow2008

The employees of the Weis Market hosted a car show on Saturday August 23 in the store parking lot. The show featured a wide array of cars and trucks and attracted many visitors. The slide show gives a sample of the vehicles including a Ford Mustang with a massive supercharger being admired by two little boys, a neat original Model A and an extremely clean Ford Torino GT. Click the following link to see photos of these and other cars and trucks entered in the show.

A large crowd took advantage of the great weather and family entertainment at the annual 50’s & 60’s Family Fun Day. The kids games attracted many youngsters and they enjoyed the fun and prizes. The car show had over 50 registered vehicles as well as an additional 30 or so that arrived later in the day. The GHC members served delicious food and drink, there was free water melon for everyone and many other tasty treats. The Elower Dance Studio entertained the crowd followed by the hula-hoop contest, baked goods walk and the cup cake eating event. The day was capped off with an evening of music by the ever popular Big Cam and the Lifters! Thanks to all the volunteers, the members of the Guardian Hose Company, Boy Scout Troop 270, and a special Thank You to Wayne and Jill Hooper for all their hard work!
