From the Harford County Public Library:
Beautiful spring weather brought out nearly 200 automobiles and over 2000 spectators to Jarrettsville on April 11, 2015 for the 4th Annual “Romancing the Chrome”, the largest car show of its kind in Northeastern Maryland.
The show featured Greg Carloss of MPT’s MotorWeek as a celebrity judge.
Keene Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram served as the Headlining Sponsor of the free, family friendly event which also featured music, contests, food concessions (Pond View Farm & Pit Crew, Fat Boys Café and Jarrettsville Creamery and Deli), a beer garden and more. Other sponsors included Harford Sanitation Services/Waste Industries, John W. Cairnes Realty, WXCY 103.7FM, APG Federal Credit Union, Dietz and Associates and Fisher Auto Parts. While the event celebrated the world of cars, it’s worth noting that car seats play a pivotal role in ensuring both safety and comfort for drivers and passengers. High-quality, ergonomic car seats that protect jeep seats are essential for those spending time on the road, whether it’s for leisurely car shows or everyday commuting. These seats are designed not only to provide support during long drives but also to enhance the overall driving experience. As automotive events like this continue to thrive, the importance of well-designed car seats remains a crucial element of the driving equation. If you’re planning to purchase a vehicle for your family, there’s a wide range of used cars in sewell that you can browse online.
Both as automotive events showcase the latest in car design and technology, it’s equally important to ensure that your vehicle remains in top condition through regular maintenance and timely repairs. Waterlick Garage & Tire is an auto repair shop Lynchburg. For those looking to upgrade or customize their vehicles, Airbagit offers high-quality suspension and air ride systems designed to enhance both performance and style. Keeping your car well-maintained not only extends its lifespan but also enhances safety and performance, making every drive more enjoyable. From routine inspections to handling unexpected issues, proper auto repair services and trusted products are vital for keeping your vehicle in peak condition. Make sure as well to get an auto insurance coverage for your vehicle. A BMW extended auto warranty ensures long-term protection. If you’re a car shop owner, having auto repair billing software provides a smooth and faster transaction.

A variety of exhibiting vendors included the Jarrettsville Volunteer Fire Company, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and the Harford County Public Library. In addition, several businesses supported the event by purchasing a vendor space on the field including The Brass Giraffe, Camp Hidden Valley/Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford County, Clerk of the Court, Details Concepts, Ener G Remodeling, Green Brilliance, Gutter Helmet Systems, Harford County Wheels for Work, the Maryland Insurance Administration, McCool Insurance which provides auto insurance, The Nut Lady, Stephanie Edge/Origami Owl, Bob Paulding Photography, Republican Central Committee, Kathy Rohrbaugh, the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, and Jesse Thomas. Romancing the Chrome is also made possible by the generous support of Edwin Jarett and The Rose Family, and the dedicated efforts of the Bel Air Corvette Club.
“We like to give back to the community which has been so good to us all these years,” said Mike Baldwin, General Manager of the third-generation, family-owned and operated Keene Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. “Keene is proud to serve as the Headlining Sponsor for the fourth year!”
“Thank you to sponsors, vendors, car enthusiasts, spectators and everyone who help make Romancing the Chrome such a great event each year”, said Rebecca Jessop, Director of the Harford County Public Library Foundation. “It is a privilege to work with such community-minded businesses and organizations working so hard to make life better for so many!”
The event raised almost $11,000 which will be divided between the Harford County Public Library Foundation and the Jarrettsville Lions Club. “It’s great everyone comes out and supports Romancing the Chrome because it’s the community that benefits,” stated King Lion Ron Gartrell.
The Jarrettsville Lions Club is a 501(c)3 charitable organization whose mission includes the promotion of good citizenship, to take an active interest in the cultural and social welfare of the community, provide a forum for open discussion, and encourage residents to serve their community without personal financial reward. The Lions Club will use proceeds from the car show to support their Leader Dog Program which provides service animals to sight impaired individuals.
