Fort Wayne, IN  46809, for a special 1930s Car Show featuring historic vehicles from The Old Fort Model A Car Club.<\/p>\n<p>The free, family-friendly event will give visitors an opportunity to take a closer look at beautifully preserved automobiles from the era, meet their owners, and learn more about the automotive technology of the 1930s. Club members will also share insight into the restoration, maintenance, and preservation required to keep the historic vehicles on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Guests are encouraged to bring the family, take photos, visit with participants, and enjoy a trip back in time as part of the newspaper&#8217;s 94th anniversary celebration. Event parking will be available across the street, courtesy of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church.<\/p>\n<p>The theme pays tribute to The Waynedale News&#8217; humble beginnings. The newspaper first began publishing in 1932, when Waynedale was a small community located about a mile outside the City of Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>During the 94 years since, both the community and the newspaper have changed considerably. The Waynedale News has grown into one of the area&#8217;s most-read community publications, serving a large readership throughout south, southwest, and downtown Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that growth, the newspaper has remained focused on its original community mission. Its pages regularly feature local writers, family-friendly news, area resources, entertainment, local history, neighborhood happenings, and stories highlighting the people and organizations that make the communities it serves unique.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond publishing the newspaper, The Waynedale News also serves as a community hub connecting residents, neighborhoods, organizations, and local businesses while encouraging literacy, civic participation, and community involvement.<\/p>\n<p>As a free, locally owned and independent newspaper, The Waynedale News is supported entirely through advertisers, sponsors and donors. That community support has helped sustain independent local journalism for nearly a century.<\/p>\n<p>The Waynedale News extends its appreciation to the generations of readers, writers, advertisers, organizations, volunteers, and community supporters who have helped make its 94-year history possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About The Waynedale News<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Waynedale News is a locally owned, independent community newspaper that has served Fort Wayne, Indiana (Waynedale) since 1932.
