Did you ever see a dinosaur at a car show?
Some of the cars at the County Line Church of the Brethren on Saturday dated back to 1929, but not to the age of the Giant Monsters. However, Bryan Counts of Spencerville is really into dinosaurs as is evident on the inside and outside of his 1977 Ford.
His was among 60 vehicles on display at the church's annual car show, where you could also eat one of 300 chicken dinners and have a piece of homemade pie for $8. The kids enjoyed the playground equipment.
