49th Mendon Dust-Off big success

Organizers of the 49th Mendon Dust-Off old-car show said Sunday’s annual event drew more than 900 participants and at least 2,000 spectators.

Don Mourey, president of the Three Rivers Classic and Antique Restorers Club, said a combination of perfect weather and owners of old cars eager to show off their winter work for the inaugural car show of the season played key roles in the success of the 2012 Dust-Off.

Mourey said club members will meet Wednesday and begin planning for the 2013 show, which will be the golden anniversary of the Dust-Off.
