Saturday’s events at the Salina City Park were well attended and the rain held off until after the show.
“Saturday was just perfect for a car show! A nice cool breeze coming from the canyon, not too hot, LOTS of super nice cars to look at, and fun was had by all! We wrapped up the awards at 3:00, and at 3:45 it started to rain! We were so grateful it waited for the car show to be over!
Another successful Blast from the Past Car Show! Thank you to the volunteer committee who made it happen,” said Martin.
