VFW and animal shelter team up for event
VFW Post 11546 and West End Animal Shelter in Ontario are teaming up to host the Vets and Pets Charity Car Show fundraiser.
The free event on Oct. 30 aims to raise awareness of each organization's outreach, services and programs offered to the community.
The car show will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Flo's Airport Cafe at Chino Airport at Merrill and Euclid avenues.
Flo's will donate 15 percent back to the charities for each check that includes a car show sticker.
Car owners and groups from throughout the region are expected to participate.
Cesar Lerma and his 1940 Mercury, which recently appeared in a BlackBerry TV commercial, will make a guest appearance.
Cars from the 1920s to the 1980s -- including a 1940 Mercury, 1954 Studebaker, 1955 Chevrolet and 1957 Oval Back Window VW Bug -- will be at the show.
The community event will feature a Top 10 car awards as well as a doggie dress-up contest.
Free hand-knit doggie sweaters will be given on first-come basis. There will also be drawings, vendors and food.
Guests are encouraged to bring their dog, as long as it is behaved, is up-to-date on vaccinations and is on a leash at all times.
Classic and European car same-day registration and set-up is $15 and begins at 10 a.m.
