A Show to Help Honor Our Fallen Veterans

Founded in 1966, the Southwest Ohio VFW Memorial Team honors fallen veterans year round, not just on special holidays. Tending to the graves and helping with memorial services, the organization relies on donations and volunteers to perform this service. That is why the Downtown Throw Down held in the main business district of Batavia donates proceeds to help with this worthy cause. This year's Throw Down attracted nearly 100 vehicles including a custom that started life as a 1950 Mercury coupe, a 1968 Oldsmobile 442 convertible, a Cobra kit car, a 1969 Chevy Camaro, a re-boot model Ford Thunderbird, a well worn Ford F-250 pick up, a restomod Chevy pick up, and a highly customized street racer Beretta.
