Cars and music go hand in hand at VPHS


Blast that favorite “Little


Deuce Coupe” or “Pink Cadlilac” and rev up the motor for the 13th Annual Villa Park Car and Bike Show on Saturday, May 9 at Villa Park High School. Bring that pre-’74 classic, mus-


cle car, hot rod or motorcycle, take that ’75 or newer vehicle over. Gates open at 8 a.m., and judging commences at 11 a.m. Trophies will be presented at 1 p.m.


Admission for spectators is


free. Breakfast and lunch food will be available for purchase, and additional craft and vendor booths will be open. The VPHS community band and a DJ will keep the action going. Take a chance on a 50/50 drawing, nu-


merous raffles, or bid on the ex- tensive selection of silent auction items, including golf lessons, Ha- waii trips, gift cards, flight simu- lators and more. Winners need not be present to win. The car and bike show is the primary fundraiser for Villa Park High Instrumental Music. Ve- hicles and transportation -- of instruments, music, and band members -- is an important part of the March ‘N Spartans program. (Ask any band or orchestra mem- ber about Major-Jay-Time!) See the cars, support the music. Registration and vendor forms


are available at vphscarshow. com. An event T-shirt is included with every $30 early bird registra- tion prior to May 2. Vendor booth space is $40. For questions, or to donate items or services for the raffles and silent auction, contact Booster President Chris Beatty at vphscarshow@yahoo.com. The program, led by Major


Chuck Jay, encompasses the en- tire 135-person March ‘N Spar- tans, the orchestra, the jazz en- semble and numerous combos that play at events throughout the area.

Elks dish it out for vets Living up to their motto, “As


long as there’s a vet, we will never forget,” the Orange Elks Lodge 1475 dispatched 17 mem- bers to Camp Pendleton to serve lunch to 250 Wounded War- riors and their families. Peter Lent of Firehouse BBQ and his


crew prepared the lunch, which included chicken, pulled pork, tri-tip, baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw, rolls, cookies and drinks. Each meal was served by an Elks member, with an appre- ciative and friendly, “Thank you for your service.”


This is the second time the


Elks have hosted this event, and they are encouraged to see that there are a lower number of in- jured soldiers this year. These particular service people sus- tained injuries or illnesses in the line of duty on or after 9/11.
