The Classic Charity Car Show held June 14 in downtown Wake Forest was a great success, Mike Johnson, one of the organizers, reported.
There were 236 cars in the show versus 180 last year, an estimated 5,000 people came to view the classic and unusual cars – there were about 3,500 last year – and the show raised over $12,000 for the charities. They raised just over $8,000 last year.
“It was a great event. We had help from almost 100 volunteers and great weather,” Johnson said.
