The annual Tinley Park Police Department's Cops 'n Rodders Show was finally held Sunday in the downtown area.
After being postponed three times this summer, the Tinley Park Cops 'n Rodders Show was finally held Sunday at the Oak Park Avenue Metra station, where scattered showers didn't discourage car enthusiasts from making a pit stop. Modern, classic and custom cars were on display, as well as public safety vehicles from area officials, including those from the Tinley Park Police Department. The event was free, but proceeds from raffle prizes, food and other items will be donated to the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Illinois.

The owner of a Mokena towing company drew inspiration from his uncle when it came to aiding the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association with a charity event.
A genuine NASCAR stock car, a 1960s midget racer and “funny car” drag racers will be among the array of unique and classic autos on display this weekend at the Rogers’ Winter Burnout Charity Car Show at the Tinley Park Convention Center. This indoor “cruise night” exhibit will feature more than 70 show-quality vehicles along with free giveaways and raffles. But there’s more to the show than shiny chrome and big engines. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association, an organization that provides sports and activities for children, teens and adults with disabilities.

Tom Miller, 58, of Tinley Park, is proud of the original steel body on his bright red 1934 Ford three-window coupe and he chafes when people ask who "made" what they assume is a fiberglass replica. "I know who made mine," he laughs. "Henry Ford made mine." Miller was one of about 80 car owners who brought their classic cars to downtown Tinley Park Sunday for the first "Support Your Troops" car show put on by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Bremen Post 2791. All proceeds from the event, which organizers hope to make a yearly one, will go to the care packages the post ship each month to troops stationed overseas.
