LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Area seniors and community members came out to enjoy the nice weather and even nicer cars.
The Allen County Council on Aging held their 12th annual car show. Neighbors, residents of Lochhaven Apartments, and other groups had a chance to admire over a dozen vehicles, enter raffles, and listen to music. Seeing well-maintained vintage cars or unique custom paint jobs is always interesting, but Gerald Burton says one of the highlights of the event is the memories that some models or styles of cars may bring back for local seniors.
"They could have been one that he had as a young man, cruising. There's a lot of different things that people do and look at and remember. A lot of times they will start getting a smile and they'll start thinking about who they were dating and what they were doing when they had a car similar," said Gerald Burton, chairman of the car show.
The event was free to the public and trophies were awarded to car owners for categories such as best in show, people's choice, and best paint job.
