                                   Red Caboose 2014 Fall Car Show

     With the success of their first car show in June, the owners of the Red Caboose held a fall show on October 25th.  This fall show also proved to be a success as many of the rodders returned to show their support.  This fall event benefited the Laton Lions Club.  Once again, cars from all over the valley started gathering in the parking lot, hoping to pick out their favorite spot.  After staging their cars, many headed inside for a great breakfast, one of the best in the central valley.

     After breakfast the owners pulled out the chairs, sat near their cars and were glad to answer any questions you may have had. The cars at this event tend to be daily drivers that have been very well maintained, showing the commitment by the owners to rodding.

13th Annual Immanuel Lutheran Church Car/Motorcycle Show

     Thirteen years ago Andrew Severin and his wife, while youth directors at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Easton, decided to hold a car show to raise funds for the youth group. The car show continued to grow each year and eventually moved from the church parking lot to the lot across the street in front of Washington Union High School to accommodate the amount of cars that participate. This year on Oct. 11th they held their 13th Annual Immanuel Lutheran Church Car and Motorcycle Show. Don’t miss next year’s show, I will post the date when it available.

 Event Winners: Pastor’s Award – Lee Picchi 1950 Mercury, Peoples Choice Car – Loretta & Jerry Baxter 1956 Chevy Pick-up, Peoples Choice Bike – Mark & Mary Hardin 1956 Harley Davidson Pan Head.
