Culver's of Huntley hosts its first Cruisin' Car Show of the season Tuesday, drawing about 45 classic cars and hot rods.
Bill McEwen looked around at the Thunderbirds and classic hot rods on display during Culver’s of Huntley’s Cruisin’ Car Show on Tuesday, but his favorite was his very own 1966 Thunderbird.

An example is Habitat for Humanity of McHenry County. …

The Huntley mom sported a pin that read, “I wear pink for my mom” on a pink shirt that read “TAG,” the name of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk team she joined five years ago. TAG is named after Tracey Anne Geils, who died in 2003 of breast cancer. The team has had lots of members but Wise is the only one walking this year. She is participating in the San Diego Calif., three-day walk in November. Teams must raise $2,300 to participate, so Wise does fundraisers to generate donations.

Cops, volunteers serve Culver's customers, collect money for the Special Olympics.
