Cruisin' with the King Car Show:
The Mid Ohio Cruisers Car Club kicked off its 44th season of hosting car shows at Burger King in Marysville, Ohio, on Saturday evening.
The threat of rain and thunderstorms kept attendance to approximately 30 cars for the evening.
As always, the club presented award plaques to its 15 “Favorite” vehicles. The plaques always feature some cool artwork.

A Birthday Wish Come True:
On Thursday, the Central Ohio car community made a little boy’s birthday wish come true.
Earlier in the day, McKayla Nicole posted on Facebook that her son, Brantlee, who was turning six, wanted to see some cool motorcycles, trucks, and cars for his birthday. In her post, she wrote that they would be sitting on their front porch between 6 and 7 PM if anyone wanted to show off their cool rides.
The local car community responded, giving Brantlee a birthday he won’t soon forget.
That's all for this week. Special thanks to Jeff Shankle, Donald Sparks, and the Hi-Way Starz for their contribution to this week's News and Notes.
Until next week, stay safe out there.
