The Rotary Club of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ has canceled the 14th annual ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Classics Car Show, which was scheduled for Oct. 17, because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The car show benefits Pima JTED and Make Way for Books, but the Rotary Club will continue fundraising efforts on their behalf.
The Rotary Club of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ will hold its annual Corvette raffle Saturday, Oct. 17, and will have an online auction Friday, Oct. 16. All net profits will go to the Pima JTED and Make Way for Books.
A flash flood hit the Cañada del Oro Wash near Edwin Road in July 2020, during the burning of the massive Bighorn Fire in the Catalina Mountains north of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. The flash flood carried burned debris and runoff from the fire.Â
