Mother Nature dished-up some fantastic weather for the last weekend of Spring and quite a few car enthusiasts finally emerged from their winter hibernation. A local event that attracted some of them was the 9th Annual Haldeman Ford Car Show at the Kutztown Haldeman location on June 16.
The event was once again promoted and run by the Berks County Mustang Car Club. More than 115 entries participated in the event and $2,000 was raised for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
