2025 Resident Car Show
On September 12, Otterbein Senior Life Franklin held the Second Annual Otterbein Car Show. There were 34 entries this year, and they didn’t disappoint!
From a 1924 Ford to a modern Mustang, a variety of years and styles were represented. This year’s awards went to:
- Terry S. – Best Restoration Award
- Rick S. – Most Original Miles
- Mike H. – Best-Looking Motor
- Kirk and Cheryl B. – Best Wheels
- Jean H. – Resident Choice Award
This fun event was made possible in part by The Franklin Cruisers, the Franklin Police Department, and Police Chief Kirby Cochran.
Not only was the event a good time, but it was for a good cause. Together, we raised more than $2,500, with every dollar going to sponsor our Walk to End Alzheimer’s Team, the Otterbein Otters.
Catherine Hicks, Otterbein SeniorLife Franklin’s executive director, said, ”We are already looking forward to next year’s car show and another chance to drive out Alzheimer’s — one mile at a time!”
