BRATTLEBORO — On Sept. 17, the Brattleboro Rotary Club hosted its annual car and bike show, Brattleboro on Wheels, at the Retreat Farm. The beautiful setting and weather provided a perfect day to display and appreciate these classic vehicles.

A big thank you goes out to all our sponsors, who made the day such a success.
