Potential Inc. announces 2nd annual
car show for autism June, 11 2017.Newtown PA. Kurt
Eberling Jr. and Mike Kettlye love car shows. They enjoy taking their WWII Jeep
(1942 Ford) dressed the part as WWII GI’s and answering curious kids’
questions. They remember growing up listening to their fathers’ stories of
WWII. Last year, they won “Best in Show, Kids’ Favorite” at Potential Inc.’s 1st
car show for autism, dressed as Band of Brothers paratroopers. They can’t wait
to take part in this year’s 2nd annual car show for autism on June
11, from 10 to 3, at 170 Pheasant Run, Newtown, PA.
Gadi Naaman,
director of development for Potential, explained: “We are excited about Kurt
and Mike coming back this year. We have worked hard to create a real family
event for the community. In addition to their Jeep, our Touch-A-Truck section
will include a ladder fire truck from Newtown Fire Department, a “monster” tow
truck from Rob’s Automotive and Collision Center, a police cruiser from Newtown
Police Department, a camouflage Hummer from Discount Auto and an autism clad
motorcycle, courtesy of Patrick Healy.
