An estimated 4,000 visitors were drawn like bees to honey to McKee Botanical Garden for the 11th annual Motor Car Exhibition, which this year featured the best of the best – top cars from 40 manufacturers.

The show’s committee – auto buffs all – selected rare and exotic cars from around the world, including such beauties as an Allard, McLaren and Daimler, and such historic race cars as a 1966 Corvette Red Ball racer, 1957 Lotus 11 LeMans and 1958 Lister Jaguar.

There were lots of other wonders to look at, too – the colorful Ocean Sole Africa Flip-the-Flop Sculpture Exhibition, featuring marine life sculptures made from recycled flip-flops; the newly completed Stickwork sculpture created by landscape artist Patrick Dougherty and volunteers; and, for the youngsters and young-at-heart, the newly opened Children’s Garden.
