The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce announces Selbyville’s 58th Annual Old Timer’s Day presented by Bunting & Murray Construction will return this year. After a year's hiatus, this classic car, truck, tractor, military and emergency vehicle show will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 20, on Church Street in Selbyville.
