Recognizing Donors to the Historical Society

Jaime Petralanda was joined by members of the Historical Society for a special thank you ceremony to everyone who has donated to the Miami Springs Historical Society Museum. Author and Historian Seth Bramson was among the dignitaries at the event. And Petralanda gave a special tribute to Yvonne Shonberger who is retiring from the Historical Society after being part of the history of the group since the 1980s.

At the end of the day, it was a great event that was well attended and well liked by all. In case you missed it, see all the beautiful cars in the photo gallery below:
