Along with the nine committee members, an additional 32 volunteers came out that day to help make this a successful event. There were 112 fantastic cars participating and competing for recognition. The opening ceremony was held at 11 a.m. with the Guns n Hoses Pipes n Drums. The Estero Fire Department raised the flag. Haney’s Food Truck served sandwiches and DJ Bob Picone provided the music.
