Lancaster County Cruisers (LCC) will hold the group's 24th annual car show at the Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike, on Saturday, July 6. The rain-or-shine event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it will double as a celebration of the Willow Street Fire Company's 100th anniversary and the first collaboration between the two organizations.
The show will feature sleek rides and snazzy automobiles of any make, model and year. LCC members and motorheads from all parts of Lancaster County are invited to participate in the event after making a suggested donation, and no preregistration will be required. Dash plaques will be offered to the first 200 attendees to register a vehicle.
Refreshments will be available to purchase from several food trucks, and live music will be provided by DJ Jeff Primaldi. The car show will also feature various door prizes that will include items donated by local businesses. Members of the Willow Street Fire Company will hold additional prize drawings throughout the day.
Guests are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item to the event to benefit Willow Street Church's food pantry. Every year, LCC donates a portion of funds raised by the car show to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries in Quarryville to help sustain its many community services programs and food bank.
The 2024 LCC car show will feature a special appearance from a famous (and furry) fire safety advocate. Members of LCC will operate a booth to offer information on the club, which is open to members of the public who are interested in joining, whether they own a vehicle or not. The club will offer interested attendees more information on its regular meeting times and location.
"We like to look at cars people have fixed up and are proud of," said LCC president Don Teeter. "We're not into taking points away if there's a speck of mud on the rim or a tire that doesn't match; it gives the little guy a chance."
This year, the car show will be held in memory of former LCC vice president and event organizer Jack Parke, who died in March 2024. In addition to the traditional trophies given to vehicle owners every year, Parke's partner, Carol Farmer, will select the recipient of the first Jack Parke Memorial Trophy.
