NEWS AND NOTES

Several events on Saturday saw strong participation thanks to temperatures being a bit milder than typical for this time of year.

Horsepower Farms in Powell drew more than 250 cars for its first Cars N’ Condo meetup of the season. Along with the cars the event gave out over 150 donuts and plenty of coffee to keep everyone fueled.

The first Take Back The Strip Cruise of the year in Circleville also had a solid turnout Saturday evening.

On the motorcycle side, the Columbus Vintage Motorcycle Group shifted its meetup from Sunday to Saturday due to Easter and the weather. The move paid off with another strong turnout of bikes.

Update: Mershon's World of Cars:

Just a follow-up to last week’s discussion regarding Mershon’s. Unfortunately, Mershon’s World of Cars has ceased operations.

Springfield Cars & Coffee has received permission to continue utilizing the parking lot for its monthly meet-ups for the foreseeable future, ensuring continuity for the local enthusiast community despite the closure.

1934 Ford Roadster For Sale:

I don’t normally allow For Sale ads on carshowtalk.com. The site once had a Classifieds section, but it was removed after being underutilized.

I’m making an exception in this case to honor Fred Harris, who was a very active participant in the Central Ohio car community until his passing last year.

His wife is selling his 1934 Ford Roadster, a car that earned numerous awards over the years. If you’re interested, please contact Pamela Harris at 614-403-8489.

That’s it for this week.

Participation is clearly trending in the right direction, with both car and motorcycle events seeing strong turnouts when the weather cooperates. With more consistent spring temperatures hopefully on the way, the calendar—and the crowds—should continue to build in the coming weeks.

Special thanks to Jason Colvin, Horsepower Farms, Sinclair Johnson, Shaun Sanders, and Springfield Cars & Coffee for their contribution to this week's News and Notes.

Until next time, stay safe and keep those wheels rolling.
