Story & Photography by Tony Centonze Lisa Klasen, Director of Community Relations for The Villages at The River Club held an event of a different kind recently, a car show, put on by Memory Lane Cruisers.

“They have brought some wonderful cars and trucks for our guests and residents to enjoy today,” Klasen said. “We have great weather, we thought it might rain, but it didn’t. I think we have close to twenty beautiful and historic vehicles on site.”

Many of the residents were outside for the Spring car show, and Klasen and her team, as always, were making it a fun day for everyone. There were even some door prizes being given away.

Jim Hutchens handles Cruise-In’s for the club. “We host a couple of cruise-ins and a meeting each month,” Hutchens said. “We put on special events at places like this one, by request.” Bob Merrill explained, “if a facility reaches out to us we’re happy to try to work their event into our calendar. We have big events at the mall each year, and now at Oak Grove Gaming as well.”
