The Lancaster County Cruisers will celebrate a silver anniversary of sorts.

The group will hold its 25th annual car show on Saturday, July 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 Willow Street Pike, Willow Street.

No registration is needed. Anyone wishing to participate can bring their cars, trucks, and motorcycles. There is a fee to take part; the event will be held rain or shine. More than 25 trophies will be awarded, and the first 200 participants will receive a dash plaque.

"Everybody likes to come to our car show for some reason," club member Judy Andrews said. "They think it's a very nice show. We've even been told from people in Maryland that they like to come to our show."

There will also be a model car contest for kids, with trophies awarded to the top entrants.

Food trucks will be on-site selling french fries, hamburgers, tacos, and ice cream. There is a pavilion with seating for visitors to enjoy their food. Vendors will sell their wares, and the club will hold a bake sale and also sell T-shirts. A DJ will be playing oldies.

Hogs and Heroes Foundation, a community of motorcycle riders who support military causes, will have a stand.

Those attending the car show are asked to bring nonperishable canned goods to support the food pantry at the Willow Street United Church of Christ (UCC).

Proceeds from the registration fees and bake sale will be donated to Solanco Neighborhood Ministries, Hope's Haven, Building Bridges, and Willow Street UCC.

Between 300 and 400 vehicles take part annually. "It's a great day to be outside and see a wide variety of cars," event organizer Chris Weir said. "It's not just a 'Vette show. It's not a show for any one type of car. You will see lots of them as well as motorcycles."

The Lancaster County Cruisers club has been in existence since 1994. "We've had a lot of good years, and we just keep getting bigger," said Andrews.

The club meets on the second Sunday of the month at 6 p.m. at Willow Street UCC, 2723 Willow Street Pike, Willow Street.

Everyone is welcome to attend a monthly meeting whether they own a classic or antique car, or even any car for that matter.

"You meet like-minded people," club member Kenneth Heisey said. "You share information. There's no judging. We have people with all makes and models."

Lancaster County Cruisers has a yearly picnic and Christmas party and travels to visit other cruise shows and car museums.

Club member Donna Heisey said, "It's a fun group to hang out with. You walk in, and you're welcomed with open arms. Everybody is friendly."
