On the sunniest day of an otherwise rainy Memorial Day weekend, hundreds of people made it out to view the variety of automobiles on display at the annual Northport Cars in the Park event at Haserot Park.
Darin Irvine, son of the late George Irvine who founded and ran the car show for many years, said it’s always a pleasant surprise to see how many people turn out, both spectators and car owners alike. On Saturday afternoon, Irvine said there were about 172 automobiles in the park.
“It’s just been awesome, we’ve got so many spectators here, the weather turned out great and we’re obviously in one of the most beautiful places on Lake Michigan,” Irvine said. “We’re very fortunate that this time of year has been very kind to us in recent years. When the show started back in the 1990s, I think the first seven out of the first 10 years, it rained.”
