SYRACUSE — Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence winner Oakwood Resort announced their inaugural car show will be hosted on the beautiful grounds of the 27-acre resort.

In conjunction with the Syracuse-Wawasee Park Foundation, the event will serve as a fundraiser to continue the walking trails around Lake Wawasee, Indiana’s largest natural lake. The event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 24.
