Aaron Johnson's Subaru WRX STI took Best of Show at Sycamore Township's 16th Annual Car Show. The township named all 11 winners in its Fall 2026 Quarterly newsletter, published online Sept. 12 and heading to residents' mailboxes.
The print edition also covers utility aggregation programs and curbside leaf collection dates for fall 2026.
The car show drew entries to the Robert L. Schuler Sports Complex at 11532 Deerfield Road on Aug. 29. Originally set for Aug. 1, the event was rescheduled because of forecasted bad weather. The event was free to attend. Car owners paid a $15 entry fee.
Johnson was photographed with his winning STI alongside Trustees Tracy Schwegmann and Tom Weidman. Steve Locher earned the Trustees' Choice Award for his 1969 Jaguar F Type 4.2.
