Classic vehicles of all sorts were still filing into George Hock Memorial Park (top) in West Falls, Exeter Township at 1:30 for a car show that was just one of many things to see and do as part of the Falls Summer Celebration on Saturday. Many people also took to the river on kayaks and fishing boats or just in their swim suits as temperatures soared into the upper 80s.
