WESTLAKE, Ohio — The Westlake Dave & Busters location has announced the first annual edition of an upcoming classic car show and charity event benefitting local first responders.
The restaurant and arcade is partnering with local car show company Frank Lamanna Presents for the Pistons & Pints Classic Car show, which will take place on Friday, July 29 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Those who wish to display their own cars can enter the line starting at 3 p.m.
The event is open to the public and will feature a range of unique vehicles including some used by first responders, a beer garden, live music and other activities aimed at raising funds for local police, fire department and military personnel.
After the car show ends at 9 p.m., local band Madison Crawl will perform until the location closes at 12 a.m. The store will also be open for normal business hours during the fundraiser.
