OLYPHANT, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A Lackawanna County man's legacy is alive and well on Sunday thanks to a car show turned tribute. Saint Cyril's Second Annual Car Show packed two lots with more than 100 classic and modern cars on Sunday.
The event on River Street in Olyphant served as a memorial for Gibby Carozzi, whose love of cars started the tradition.
The 71-year-old passed away in July after a short battle with cancer.

Trophies, food, and raffles kept crowds busy while the story behind the show kept them together.
"It's incredible last year there was one lot, this year theres two lots and they're out on the streets now so he's smiling down and so happy and all his friends supported him and his love of cars so it's just a wonderful day and I thank St. Cyril's and everybody who made this possible," Gibby's Sister Ann Oliver said.
The event also raises money for the SS Cyril and Methodius Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church by charging $10 to attend.
Organizers say last year's show raised more than $3,000.
