Lancaster County Cruisers will host its 23rd annual car show at the Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike, on Saturday, July 1. The rain-or-shine event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it will benefit local nonprofit organizations in Conestoga and Quarryville.

Registration will be available for a set price on the day of the show, and the first 150 participants to register will receive a dash plaque. Owners of any vehicle from classic cars to motorcycles to trucks may register for the show. Over 40 trophies, which are provided by the local businesses that sponsor the event, will be given out during the show. Lancaster County Cruisers will present a President's Trophy as well as a Best of Show Trophy.

Music will be provided throughout the day by disc jockey Jeff Primaldi. Food will be available to purchase from two food trucks, and desserts will be sold by an ice cream vendor and a baked goods stand.

Every year, the club donates a portion of the funds raised by the show to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries' food bank in Quarryville. In recent years, Lancaster County Cruisers also decided to use the show to support the Building Bridges Foundation at Anderson Farm in Conestoga. Building Bridges offers equine therapy services to veterans who are experiencing PTSD from their time in the armed forces. "Helping the food bank and Building Bridges Foundation makes all the work everyone in the club does worthwhile," said Richard Lanham, a member of Lancaster County Cruisers and event coordinator for the car show. "We also want to thank Willow Street Fire Company for allowing us to have our car show there for all of these years."

Lancaster County Cruisers will operate a booth at the event to offer information on the club and applications for membership. The club is open to car enthusiasts of any kind; owning a vehicle is not a requirement to join. The members of Lancaster County Cruisers meet once every month to plan the club's event, coordinate trips to car shows and discuss vehicles that are for sale. Although the majority of its members own vintage cars, the club welcomes those with vehicles of any kind. "We don't care if you have an old car or a new car or what country it's from," said Lanham. "It's a great place to meet other car enthusiasts and to get involved with shows." In addition to the annual car show, Lancaster County Cruisers organizes a picnic every summer and a luncheon for its members around Christmas time.
