LaVergne Rotary Club

With the recent Proclamation by President Barack Obama honoring the National
D.A.R.E. Program, the La Vergne Rotary is planning for the largest D.A.R.E./Rotary
Car, Truck and Bike Show ever!

The show runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2009. New for this year is a
showcase of “Bikes”. The event will take place at Veteran’s Memorial Park, 115 Floyd
Mayfield Drive in La Vergne, Tenn. and is free and open to spectators. Waylon Jennings’
General Lee will also be at the event.

Cost for car entry is $15 per vehicle for pre-registration and $20 per vehicle the day of the show, and there are a number of different categories including 40s and below, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and newer, Corvettes, Trucks 70s and below, Trucks 80s and above, Hot Rods, Imports, Donks, Motorcycle Cruisers and Sport Bikes. There will also be trophies for Most Unique, Best Overall, Mayor’s Choice and Police Pick. Tire World, a Cadillac sponsor, and Cardinal Health, a Luxury sponsor, are the two main sponsors of this year’s event. Different sponsor levels exist including Luxury ($500 and above), Sedan ($300- $499) and Compact ($100 to $299). Every sponsor will get a vendor booth, but each booth size will depend on the level given.

The Car, Truck and Bike Show has become one of the most anticipated events in Middle Tennessee with more than 200 bikes, cars and trucks showing up to compete for trophies and the bragging rights of having the best vehicle in Middle Tennessee.

The Car Show benefits not only our local schools but also the La Vergne Police Department’s D.A.R.E. program, which teaches fifth graders the dangers of drugs and encourages them to stay off them as they progress through life.

“Live” Music will be entertaining the folks who will spin 1950’s to current music. Door prizes will be given away throughout the day as well. For more information, contact Mike Slinker at mike.slinker@cardinal.com
