St. Ann’s Basilica in Scranton hosted its 12th annual car show and chicken barbecue featuring cars, food, music, and raffles.<\/p>\n

SCRANTON, Pa. \u2014 The 12th annual car show and chicken barbecue at St. Ann’s Basilica and Parish in Scranton<\/a> welcomed gearheads free of charge.<\/p>\n

Folks could grab dinner for $15 a piece.<\/p>\n

Organizers say the dreary weather didn’t stop people from coming out and supporting.<\/p>\n

“For a cloudy day, that’s fantastic because these people don’t want to bring their jewels out when it’s rainy and damp and so on, but like I said, they’re dedicated, they’re here, we appreciate it,” said Bill Tonti.<\/p>\n

The event in Scranton also featured music, vendors, raffles and more than 50 gift baskets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"St. Ann’s Basilica in Scranton hosted its 12th annual car show and chicken barbecue featuring cars, food, music,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":["post-258455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
