Over 70 volunteers came together in Woodridge on May 24 to host the fifth annual Car Show on the Ridge.

The event, moved to Sunday because of Saturday’s rain, attracted 150 entries ranging from classic vehicles to projects, motorcycles, tractors and more.

Organizers say the event, which raises funds for the Woodridge Community Club and the Woodridge Fire Department, begins coming together in January.
