A huge crowd helped Bob Ridings celebrate his 43rd anniversary in the car business in Taylorville Thursday afternoon.

The event included a bounce house and water slide for the kids, 43 one-hundred dollar bills and a big screen TV being given away among other prizes.

And, Bob again gave away bags of his famous sweet corn.

Miller Media Group radio stations NEWSTALK WTIM and WMKR Genuine Country 94-point-3 broadcast live.  Our Danny Russell spoke with Bob, who told us the celebration was to thank Christian County for their business over these many years.

Ridings operates auto dealerships in Taylorville, Pana, Jacksonville, Decatur, and Monticello.
