Some Ohio State Highway Patrol cruisers were featured parked in the front yard, including a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, the last one purchased by the state agency.

Retired patrol officers drove the vintage vehicles.

Also, during the three-hour event, the public enjoyed refreshments and chatted with some of the personnel who have helped keep Trumbull County’s highways safe since 1933.
