“The event seems to get bigger and bigger every year,” Sheldrick said. “It’s another great reason for people to come out and stop by Village Green.”
Presented by Barry Brown Paving LLC, the 17th Annual Village Green Car Show on Saturday is a fundraiser that will showcase hundreds of classic and antique cars. Cars will be parked along Wessel Drive as well as in parking areas throughout Village Green Park.
More than 200 cars have previously been on display.
Money raised benefits the Fairfield Community Foundation’s Barry Brown Community Fund and the Lisa Brown Scholarship Fund. Those who don’t register a vehicle may also donate to the scholarship fund at fairfieldcommunityfoundation.org.
Barry Brown, a Fairfield native and the show’s coordinator, set up the scholarship fund in memory of his late wife, Lisa, who passed away from Colon Cancer. Lisa Brown volunteered for many years at Fairfield West Elementary.
