The Warsaw Optimist Club had its eighth annual City of Lakes Car Show & Cruise recently in downtown Warsaw.
One hundred sixteen vehicles registered for the event, which raised over $12,000 for over 100 activities and programs for youth in the county.
The rain-shortened event led to the cancellation of the performance of the Lakes Area Community Band and the awards ceremony.
