Ellis Grove car show winners announced

</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[The Best Little Car Show in Southern Illinois had a very great year with over two hundred entries (230) to be exact.

Participants came from as far away as St. Louis, MO.

WIL-FM provided music and the Shriners were on hand with clowns who made an assortment of creations out of balloons for the children.

Ellis Grove Fire Department served food and drinks. When the weather got a little too hot, Steve Moll brought out the Fire Department tanker and sprayed off any guest who welcomed the opportunity to cool off.

Chairman Tom Moll did a great job of pulling things together. Several trophies where awarded, along with some plaques.

Each year "The Best Little Car Show" gets bigger. (The goal is to have 1,000 entries.) You bring 'em; we'll park 'em.

Numerous sponsors helped make this car show possible: The Ellis Grove Fire Department held a BBQ and helped with assembling and putting things away; Jeri Moll, Connie Gaertner, and Tammy Hillsman served the food; and The River Road Cruisers helped with registration and parking.
