In honor of all Dads, Caughman-Harman Funeral Home held a Father’s Remembrance Car Show Saturday. It featured classic cars that we all remember as our family vehicles.

It was a trip back in time that brought back many happy memories of traveling near and far. The show was free and food was provided.

Trophies were awarded in categories. Vintage cars never go out of style. They are true classics!
