LIMA, OH (WLIO) - People came out to Faurot Park to enjoy live music and cool cars for a good cause.
This was the 11th year the King Car Show was held to raise money for the Salvation Army. Over 2,000 people and around 170 cars turned out, making this one of the biggest shows to date.
All the music was provided by local artists who donated their time, and the day ended with the feature performance by area Elvis impersonator, Richie Crouch.

Donations to the Salvation Army slow down in the summer and fall seasons, but thanks to The King Car Show, they can keep helping people in need year round.
"School is just starting back, so we're doing our student food pantry, which I know a lot of people know about. We've got like 120 kids coming in every day after school from Lima Senior getting something to eat. There's the gym there for them; we have afterschool programs. Of course, the food pantry and social services go on throughout the year," explained Paul Downing, the Lima Salvation Army's operations manager.
Not only was turnout good this year, but the show also out of plenty of items like t-shirts and food.
