7th Annual Spring Car Show Fund Raiser in Smithtown

Smithtown, NY — April 16, 2012 — The 7th Annual Spring Car Show for the benefit of St. Patrick School in Smithtown attracted an overwhelming crowd of car enthusiasts and families out to enjoy a day of fun on Sunday, April 15. The event was held on the grounds of St. Patrick School from 9 am - 4 pm and featured a wide array of collectible, classic, unique and unusual cars, motorcycles and trucks. Admission was free for all children and there was plenty for them to do as their parents enjoyed browsing through the various isles of automobiles on display and vendors who set up shop. The Batmobile, Bumble Bee, Back to the Future Car, Herbie the Love Bug, and General Lee Charger were just some of the amazing cars on display.

The First Annual Spring Car Show for St. Patrick School was organized by John and Cindy Forlenza in 2006 and quickly became a very popular event among car enthusiasts from all around Long Island. A proud owner of a 1957 Chevy Bel Air himself, Mr. Forlenza established this event and organized it each of the past seven years as a way to raise funds for St. Patrick School, where he and his wife have sent their children for their elementary school education. Mr. Forlenza is proud to say that 100% of the funds raised each year directly benefit the school and have helped to offset expenses that arise throughout the course of the school year in order to help maintain and improve the educational standards of the school.
