A special car show in memory of a beloved Shrewsbury resident will be held in the South Kent community next month.
The second annual Jaimee Doyle (Huckle) Memorial Classic Auto Show will take place at the Shrewsbury Community Centre on New Scotland Line on June 9.
According to organizers, the free family event is being held to commemorate the lives of Jaimee and her friend Nigel Sedge who were killed in a crash during the RetroFest 2022 classic car cruise.
Jaimee’s mother Ruth said her daughter had a passion for classic cars – especially old Volkswagen vans and bugs – and died doing what she loved.
“She just really loved classic cars,” her mom said recently. “Jaimee and Nigel are still cruising together.”
She had married Kyle Doyle just seven months prior to her death.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the show running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations will be accepted on behalf of Jaimee, including non-perishable food items for the Blenheim Word of Life Soup Kitchen and Food Bank.
A 50-50 draw will also be held, and T-shirts, hotdogs, chips and water will be on sale.
June 15 has been chosen as a rain date if necessary.
Anyone with questions is asked to call 519-784-3030.
