All
Well the car show was last weekend, and the city ends its summer schedule with a BANG. Jerry and Ruthie Koenigsmark have really done a marvelous job with this.
A majority of the cars and the people walking around were from outside of Lakewood, which is not saying it is not a Lakewood-friendly event, but that it is, and a wonderful brand-builder for the city.
Estimates were that over 10,000 people made their way through the show. The vendors at the show and the businesses on the street loved the event, as did everyone who attended.
This brings summer to an end-- the only real parties left this year are Got Green and the LEAF Harvest Party, both end of growing season events. Then it is straight into the holidays and Light up Lakewood and light up the monkey at the Burning Monkey Festival.
Again, hats off to Jerry and Ruthie Koneigsmark who are the founders and heart and soul of this event. Special thanks to the City of Lakewood (job well done), Quaker Steak and Lube, Jakprints, LowBrow Customs, Beer Engine, Mars Bar, the volunteers from StART Neo, Jerry's Color and the Gas Box.
Altogether it was a beautiful thing, thanks for letting us work with you all. To see the story and 200+ photos of this event, go to: http://lakewoodobserver.com/photoblogs and check out the 4 photoblogs.
