Knights of Columbus Council 444 Annual Car Show has respectfully been renamed the Kennan L. Ryan Memorial Car Show. This year, the Knights suffered a devasting loss with the passing of Past Grand Knight Kennan L. Ryan. Council 444 unanimously voted to change the name of the car show, after Ryan, who was Chairman for over 10 years until his passing on Dec. 5, 2023. What a perfect tribute to Ryan and his dear wife, Annie.
The Car Show was a magnificent success, and it was a touching tribute to a beloved gentleman Knight, Kennan Ryan. It was delightful to have Deputy Supervisor Scott Manley visit with good cheer, and Super Hero Batman and his famous decked out Batmobile was a popular perennial visitor.
The Knights of Columbus awarded 57 trophies in total, and it was a perfect family day and great fun. Proceeds benefit Charitable works of Knights of Columbus.
