The Concours d'Elegance is Dayton Histories largest fundraiser of the year. The annual event brings in antique automobile owners from near and far. This week we spoke with just two of the people involved in organizing and promoting the event. Skip Peterson is the board Chair for Concours, while Lauryn Bayliff is the Director of community development. In our interview we talk about highlights from this year’s event.
