The Wheels Car Club would like to thank the Tuscola Pageant Queens for assisting with the trophies and Ford of Tuscola for donating door prizes. Each year more businesses get involved and this year was no exception. We love the collaboration that brings car enthusiasts and community members together to showcase the best Tuscola has to offer. We look forward to doing it again at next year’s Spring Fling.
