Good Ol’ Boys show off their cars
Nearly 150 classic cars filled both baseball playing fields at Mount Morris’ Bellamy Park during the 16th Annual Good Ol’ Boys Car Show in Mount Morris Aug. 26.
Club spokesman Jim DiSalvo said that the “judges had a tough time [awarding prizes] this year because there were so many cars in excellent condition.”
Half of the money collected by the non-profit organization through registrations and raffles goes to charitable and good-will causes. Donations from this year’s show will produce packages are for military people; contributions to the Mercy Flight Service and to Theresa House will also receive contributions.
The nearly 80 club members are very diverse, family-oriented, with many husband and wife teams, who enjoy each others’ company and love talking about cars said Treasurer Cathy Little.
