With support from area businesses and the local community, we had a tremendous first-year success," said Richard A. Wojtowicz, car show expert, and member of the Rotary Classic Car Show committee. We served 1,000 Krolicks chicken dinners, had one hundred and fifty classic cars, and plenty of activities for kids."
