Saturday's last day of the Christian County Ag Fair included the first-ever Classic Car and Truck Show organized by fair officials and the "40-Miles-Per-Hour" Car Club of Christian County.
Fair Promotions Director Angela Ohls-Marsters and Car Club President Gail Lumb, put the show together with just a few weeks notice. Over 40 cars and trucks lined the east fence at the Fairgrounds.
Lumb was thrilled with the turnout by club members for Saturday's first-ever show.
Lumb said the "40-Miles-Per-Hour" Car Club started with just a few people.
The Fair Board and the Car Club both decided that instead of a registration fee for the classic car and truck owners to pay, they asked for donations to the Taylorville Food Pantry. Some 285-dollars was raised by the Car Club for the Food Pantry's efforts.
Food Pantry Co-Executive Director Pam Moses who, along with Co-Director Amy Hagen were also at the Car Show, thanked the Car Show owners for their donation.
Ohls-Marsters told Regional Radio News the Classic Car Show will become an annual event at the Christian County Ag Fair.
WSVZ Cruisin' 98.3 broadcast live reports from the Car Show Saturday morning.
One classic car owner brought a platform that hoisted into a flagpole, and displayed the American and Police Support flags.
