CURWENSVILLE — The Curwensville Days Car Show celebrated its silver anniversary Saturday — very fitting given the amount of chrome on display.
The committee reported 83 vehicles in attendance — more than doubling the amount of vehicles last year.
“This is a really good attendance. Not our highest as one year we had 100 vehicles, but we are pleased given the amount of events going on today,” said Car Show Committee Member Carl Heaton.
Curwensville Days Committee Vice President Rose Fye chose the president’s choice award. It was given to a 1955 Chevrolet Belair owned by Kevin and Jackie Jury.
The Mike Farley Award was presented to a 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo owned by Rich and Tori Smith of Punxsutawney. The Leroy Fye Memorial Trophy was earned by Mike Duckett of Curwensville for his 1951 Ford F1 pickup truck. The Ken Britton Memorial Trophy was awarded to Allen Shirley of Commodore for his 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle.
