Although rain cancelled some Sunday plans, Saturday’s weather cooperated beautifully for some special events in our area. Dozens of custom and classic car enthusiasts turned out for the Fifth Annual Memorial Way Open Car Show at the Kruger-Coan-Pape Funeral Home in Danville Saturday.
Proceeds go to support the Mission K-9 Warrior Program sponsored by Georgetown Dornblaser American Legion Post 203. It supplies specially trained dogs…free of charge…to help Veterans dealing with P.T.S.D. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Also Saturday the 6th Annual Sparky Songer Memorial Ride raised funds to help the Vermilion County War Museum. Songer was one of the key people who got the museum opened in Danville and served as its president for many years before his death.
And Saturday night (September 14, 2019) many of the same vehicles that attended the Fifth Annual Memorial Way Open Car Show participated in American Graffiti Night at the Vermilion Regional Airport. Proceeds from that event assist students in the Danville Area Community College Automotive Tech Department.
