Classic Cars At Brookfield Zoo
On Saturday ,May 21st and Sunday, May 22nd the Lemont Classic Car Club was invited to display
their vehicles at the Brookfield Zoo by the Roosevelt Fountain to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the
Dolphin’s arrival. We arrived at 9:45 on Saturday morning before the zoo was open for the day. We were
greeted by a number of peacocks and peahens walking by the fountain just waiting for us to get settled.
Along with the car show the zoo had musical entertainment by The New Invaders, a 60's band, Greg Brown
from the WLS radio station, face painting and crowns for the kids, and free Dolphin Show tickets for our car
club. We did encounter some light rain but then it wouldn’t be a Lemont Car Event without some rain!
Sunday morning was a much better day! We did have a few drops of rain but the temperature made up for
it. Arra an 80's band was the entertainment on Sunday. We displayed 17 vehicles on Saturday and 13 on
Sunday. Thanks to everyone that brought their vehicles out and enjoyed the day. This was a very special
event for the Lemont Classic Car Club to be invited to!
