Kudos to Edmond

The Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond has been criticized fairly regularly here for embracing its Route 66 heritage far too late, after nearly all of its historic treasures are gone.

However, give Edmond credit where credit’s due. According to the Daily Oklahoman, the Route 66 Classics in the Park Car Show and Craft Fair this past weekend was a smashing success:

A record number of 220 cars and about 30 crafters entered the 14th annual show, event organizers said. The crowd easily numbered in the thousands for the one-day event.

The benefit show raised an estimated $25,000 for organizer Edmond Family Counseling. The nonprofit agency offers family counseling and education to families, groups and individuals in the metro area.

And it benefited a good cause, to boot.
