Over the past two decades, the annual Motorsports Show at the LCBC Manheim location has grown to become one of the largest free car shows on the East Coast, said Dean Hershey, men’s ministry and motorsports coordinator at LCBC Church. This year’s show will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 12, at 2392 Mount Joy Road, Manheim. “Our first show started with just three grills and around 50 cars,” Hershey noted. “This year’s Motorsports Show will feature over 1,000 antique, classic, muscle cars, tuners, street rods, motorcycles and scale model cars.”
Prizes will be awarded, including 10 custom-made trophies, and the show will also feature food, including doughnuts and ice cream, food provided by Hess’s Barbecue and Bricker’s French Fries and beverages provided by Kreider Farms. Free face painting and inflatables will be available for kids, as well as a radio-controlled car racing track for adults. “This year’s show will celebrate America’s favorite Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, with a designated parking area featuring all generations of Camaros, Firebirds, special models, Z28, Trans Am and other limited editions,” Hershey said.

the facility to upgrade its roof and parking lot area; improve public restrooms; update nursing stations and the therapy room; and renovate resident common gathering areas, such as two lounges and the dining hall. So far, 14 resident rooms have been renovated, with 29 still to be updated. Mount Hope has a mission of providing care to seniors regardless of their ability to pay, Wilson noted, adding that the capital campaign will help the facility continue to fulfill this mission, as much of the facility has not been updated since the home was built in the late 1960s. “The capital campaign will allow the facility to make improvements to continue to provide quality care,” Wilson said. “Every person deserves a dignified, well-maintained place to live. Contributing to the capital campaign will allow the home to continue to provide this care.”
