,,Klasika” atsisveikino su vasara

Category:Events,Events 2012

As fall approaches, we longingly remember the past summer, the holidays, and the time we spent on the beaches of foreign countries or cozy lakesides in our homeland. It’s getting colder and colder. Tree leaves are falling down in swirls and covering the windows of my car. As I brush them off memories of not so distant past overwhelm me.
Many of us who visited our car show in Biržai this past August remember a dark blue shiny car decorated with a nobleman’s coat of arms and a gentleman in tuxedo standing next to it. The gentleman’s name is Klementas Sakalauskas. He is a nobleman, a private collector and a museum owner.

Those who visited Biržai Castle on the 14th of July were not disappointed.
