Classic Cars to Modern Day Marvels Draws a Crowd

It was all about cars at the recent car show at Peachtree Corners Baptist Church.

A fun way to raise funds for the youth mission trip to New York City was the hosting of an auto show in the parking lot across from the Baptist church at Peachtree Corners Circle.
