Over 80 cars, trucks and motorcycles came to the Osiris Shrine Center for their annual car show, which remembered an old friend.
"It's a great event for the shrine and just to see everybody from the community out and enjoying this," Osiris Shrine Potentate Jeff Hawkins said.
What was the Osiris Shrine Car Show is now the Anthony Rotellini Osiris Shrine Car Show. The first installment of the event without the original organizer was as successful as ever.
"The guys who help this show from the car club are very active members," Hawkins said. "Here at Osiris, it's a historical landmark here in the Wheeling area. It's special to be and here and be a part of this particular show. The money and what it goes toward makes it special also."
The money from the afternoon helps maintain the organization's monument building, which hosts fundraisers for area hospitals throughout the year.
Cars like Dan Auber's connects Elm Grove to historical figures like 'the King of Rock n' Roll' himself, Elvis.
"Elvis bought Priscilla one," Auber said. "She drove it back and forth to high school before they got married. There's not too many of them left, there was only 2000 or something built in 1956. And there's only a few hundred of them left, if that."
Though Hawkins and the other organizers were saddened to be without Rotellini, they know what it means to him to continue to hold the event.
"Just to be a part of this is special to me and all the Shriners here at Osiris to do the things we do for the community," Hawkins said.
Part of the thousands raised will help the Shriner Center assist in other fundraisers throughout the year.
