Mother Nature smiled on the two decades of efforts put forth by Trinity UCC in Rehrersburg and blessed them with a beautiful day for their 20th annual, and final, Kauffman’s Antique and Custom Cruise-In on Labor Day.
The long running show in Bethel, coordinated by Tim and Kim Glynn, is one of the biggest car shows in our area and has truly set the standard for events of this kind.
“All of the proceeds from the show go to Trinity UCC in Rehrersburg and they disperse it to various charities,” said co-organizer Kim Glyn.
When asked about the demise of the popular event, she stated that it became more difficult over the years to get volunteers to help with the show.
This year’s show attracted a total of 512 entries as antique, classic and custom cars in addition to trucks and motorcycles flowed into the grounds all morning. More than 50 awards were presented at day’s end, many with unique and creative titles such as “Phat Rat” and “Easy Rider.”
It was announced at the event that Stewart’s Root Beer Mobile Restaurants will be taking over the show next year. The event will be called the 21st Annual Labor Day Cruise-In but the location has yet to be determined.
