Recon Brewing hosts car show

Recon Brewing, 1747 N. Main St. Ext., Butler, hosted a Father's Day Car Show Sunday.

The parking lot of the brewery, which gets its name from the first Jeep prototype, the Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC), was filled with vintage cars, enthusiasts and beer lovers. 'Burgh'ers N'at served up hamburgers and sandwiches in its food truck.

Mitchell spent two years rebuilding the engine and finding and installing other parts. Now he and a group of friends with similar vehicles travel to shows across the country.
