ALBION – The Merrill-Grinnell Funeral Home wanted to raise money for Hospice of Orleans, and also give the community a fun event. On Sept. 29, the funeral home had a section of East State Street closed down and lined with classic cars and trucks.
The car show attracted 59 entries and raised $1,000 for Hospice. Rebekah Karls, Merrill-Grinnell manager, presented a $1,000 on Wednesday to Hospice.
