ATHENS-The Annual Cars and Bikes on the Square Car Show had beautiful weather for their April 26th 2014 event which translated into over 400 paid entries and over 200 who brought their cars and bikes for exhibition. Each year the show promoter, Tom Schuman, donates the proceeds from the show to a worthy community non-profit. With the success of this year’s show he is able to donate to three non-profits; Athens-Limestone Community Association, Hospice of Limestone County and Limestone County Churches Involved (LCCI).
Checks were presented June 6th 2014 by Athens-Limestone County Tourism President, Teresa Todd, on behalf of

Director Pat King accepted saying, “on behalf of the Hospice of Limestone County Board of Directors and Staff I would like to convey our sincere appreciation of the most generous gift form the Car Show. In light of the current healthcare climate, the check will assist us with our indigent care. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.”
