The Graf and Sons Car Show once again went off without a hitch and even got a respite from the recent wave of blistering temperatures on a pitch perfect Saturday at the Mexico Elks Lodge.

According to Sheila Kelsey Fox, organizer of the event, cars from all over the state descended on the lodge and 208 vehicles were registered – with many others arriving, but not officially becoming a part of the festivities.

All proceeds from the show – now in its fourth year - goes towards the Elks Charities.

“It went great – I’d say we had about 1,000 people with car owners and spectators,” Fox said.

Elks served up lunch all day for those in attendance as many partook with eats such as burgers, brats, fish and ribeye sandwiches.

The list of winners was not made available at press time.
