Steady rain all day Saturday postponed one area show and washed out two others. Luckily the showers moved out the area in time for the American Legion Canteen Southway Post 144 Trunk or Treat Cruise-in on Sunday.
The event hosted by the C-Town Cruisers was held at the American Legion Canteen Southway Post 144 on South High Street in Columbus, Ohio. Along with the cars, the show featured a kid's Halloween party and hayride.
The food special inside the American Legion Canteen included a pulled pork sandwich, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, green beans and piece of cake all for $8.00.
Despite the cool and breezy (but dry) weather conditions, the Trunk or Treat Cruise-in managed to register 44 vehicles. A good turn out for a late October car show.

As luck would have it, the sun finally decided to show up during the awards presentation. Even without the sun, it was still a great afternoon spent with good friends, great cars, and a lot of Halloween fun. Oh...and did I mention no rain.
