The 2020 October Oriental Classic Car Show was cancelled due to COVID, however a more socially distant Classic Car Poker Run was held October 24, 2020.

Jennifer Lawrence, driving a 1973 Mercury Cougar, won the pot with three kings and a pair of sevens. Kudos to Jennifer, she donated her winnings back to the Rotary Club for its charitable causes.
