Benefit car and motorcycle show planned

United Zion Retirement Community (UZRC) will hold its annual Rockin' Car and Motorcycle Cruise on Saturday, Aug. 24, from 3 to 7 p.m. at Manheim Brethren in Christ Church, 54 N. Penryn Road, Manheim. The event will feature a display of show vehicles, food, games, a silent auction, face painting for children and live music by Rew Smith.

The event is open to all vehicles. There is a suggested minimum donation to show a vehicle. Vehicle owners may begin parking their vehicles at 1:30 p.m., and all cars must be parked by 2:45 p.m.

Prizes will be awarded to winning show vehicles by celebrity guest judges. Awards will include Best of Show - Classic, Best of Show - Modern, Favorite Muscle Car, Favorite Paint, Favorite Cycle and Favorite Truck. There will also be a Grand Showcase winner. To view photos, winners and awards from previous years or to register a vehicle in advance, visit http://www.uzrc.org/news-events/car-cruise.

Forefront will sell pulled pork meals that come with two sides and a drink. Hand-dipped ice cream will also be available.

All proceeds will support benevolent care at UZRC, a nonprofit continuing care retirement community. The program provides assistance should a resident's own resources become inadequate to cover the full cost of care. In 2023, $2 million in benevolent care was given to residents. During the car show, UZRC residents will rock in rocking chairs to raise additional money for the benevolent care fund.

Admission is free to the public. For more information, visit the aforementioned website or search for "United Zion Retirement Community" on Facebook. The event will be held rain or shine since indoor and covered outdoor activities will be available along with indoor tables for food service, including pulled pork meal pickup.
