Mustang Club raises money for juvenile diabetes research
The last Saturday of spring was a beautiful day, the kind of day that was perfect for a car show and that’s exactly what was happening at Haldeman Ford of Kutztown.
The Berks County Mustang Car Club held their 10th Annual Haldeman Ford Car Show on Saturday, June 15 beginning at 9 a.m. and wrapping up with the awards presentation at 1 p.m.
The event attracted a record 159 entries, including 37 Berks County Mustang Car Club members’ cars that only compete among themselves. At day’s end more than 30 trophies were awarded.
The big winner of the day was the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund who, as benefactor of the event, was awarded a check for $2,500. Money raised from the show comes from entry fees, 38 Chinese Auction items and a 50/50 drawing. The winner of the 50/50 drawing took home $227. As is the case with most car shows, there were also door prizes.
The following are the winners of the car show awards.
