Enjoy A World Of Wheels By Dayna M. Reidenouer
The sixth annual World of Wheels car show will be held on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 3 to 7 p.m. at Encounter Church, 300 Hideaway Drive, located off Route 472 south of Quarryville. A rain date of Sunday, Sept. 22, from 3 to 7 p.m. has been set. Participation in the show is not limited by make, model, age, or type of vehicle. “It’s open to anything with wheels. Our tagline is, ‘If you can ride it or drive it, you can show it,” said Kim Bandy, who coordinates the show with her husband, Jerry. “One guy brought his big, deluxe motorhome one year. Another year, a guy brought an 18-wheeler.” Converted bikes have also shown up at the event, which attracted more than 85 vehicles last year. Kim noted that some cars have been trailered to the
event, and that is OK. “We have plenty of parking,” she said. The event will be casual; there will be no adjudication of any vehicles, nor will prizes be awarded. Additionally, every aspect of the event will be free of charge. “Registration is free. The food is free. The fun is free,” Kim declared. A church member who likes to grill will prepare burgers and hot dogs. Chips, freshly popped popcorn, desserts, and beverages will also be offered. Kim related that while she and Jerry are committed to ensuring there are no expenses for exhibitors or spectators, they put out a donation jar at last year’s show at the continued urging of a regular participant with the promise of giving the funds to a local charity. That jar amassed about $220 for Solid Rock Youth Ministries in Quarryville. The
Jerry Bandy invites automotive enthusiasts to enter or attend the sixth annual World of Wheels car show at Encounter Church on Sept. 21. Shown with Bandy are a 1996 Ford F-150 (left) and a 1965 Ford Mustang. Bandys are still working on deciding which organization to support this year. Music will be played by a worship leader at the church. “We’re trying to take it more toward Christian music,” Kim said, explaining that she wanted something other than the oldies music typically played at car shows. Encounter Church’s elder team and prayer teams will be on hand to pray
with people who request it. Information about Christianity will be available at the registration table. “We try to keep it a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It’s our desire to bless our community with an afternoon to relax and hang out with old friends and get to know a few new ones,” Kim commented. “Mostly people just come and hang out. Everybody brings their lawn chairs to sit by their cars or get up and mingle.” See World Of Wheels pg 4
