THANK YOU for coming out to the Morris Lions 40th Classic Car Show. The attendance number estimates I have been told are just over 100 “Orphan” cars on Saturday and just over 400 cars on Sunday. The weather on Saturday & Sunday was Perfect but 2 days of rain prior made some areas wet. Early show car arrivals received a small gift (until they ran out) to help us remember & appreciate all the work and Great times of 40 years of putting on a car show. Thank You and know that we appreciate you!
