Senior living facility to host classic car show for third year

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — For the third year, a classic car show will be making a pit stop from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 27 at Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby.

There will be 30 cars to view at the senior living facility with a few spots available. The event will have jams by DJ Eddie and food trucks for those who want some snacks.

If you’re feeling lucky, there will be a 50-50 raffle too. One lucky winner walked away with $400 last year.

Registration for the show is free.

Eve O’Conner, who is the daughter of resident Jenny Gregson, said the classic car show is a great time for people and families of all ages.

“My mom is a resident of Pine Ridge and I was blown away last year with what a fun event this was. There were at least 30 classic cars, a DJ, ice cream. Everyone had so much fun — the residents, the public, families and the classic car owners too. There was a nice assortment of different cars, and attendees got to vote on their favorite. If you’re looking for a great time in the Shelby-Utica area, put this one on your calendar,” O’Conner said.

Joe Badalamenti, a resident, said he really enjoys the old cars and talking with the owners.

“The car show at the Villas of Shelby is a wonderful event. I really enjoy looking at the old cars and talking to the car owners. It’s great to have such a nice event right out of my doorsteps. Plenty of cars and plenty of food. I look forward to it every year,” he said.
