Check Out the Hot Rides This Weekend
The fourth annual car show at Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick is expected to feature dozens of vehicles — including a few from Johnston.
George Arakelian of A Custom Car Stereo Center in Johnston is again lending his talents — and his cars — to the annual Bishop Hendricken High School Car Show, scheduled for May 19 from 2 to 6 pm at the school in Warwick.
Arakelian, whose son, George III, is a student at the school, recently spoke about last year's success at drawing more than 100 cars — and his hopes for another great event this year.
The day's festivities will include food, a bounce house for the kids, a 50/50 raffle, and lots of classic rides to drool over [but not on — you wouldn't want to mess up the paint].
