Organizers released results from this year’s Big Mama’s Car Show & Shine, which saw 185 classic vehicles in Lampe Park on May 10.

The show, which raises money for Douglas County Meals on Wheels along with other senior related causes, is organized by the Young at Heart Senior Citizens Club.

Chairman Mike Damon thanked the club’s board members, Walmart, Starbucks and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office for supporting the show.

“(The Sheriff’s Office) brought out the SWAT mobile again this year,” Damon said.
