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

For the third straight year, the LaVergne Rotary Club has supported the LaVergne Primary School by donating back packs and school supplies for use by children that are unable to afford them.

 Atlas Program Director Laura Schofield said, “The Rotary Club never ceases to amaze us here at LaVergne Primary. They have really been a blessing for their assistance.”

Club coordinator for this project was past president Jennifer Pierce, who has really taken the cause to heart. “This was one project that Jennifer really wanted to be in charge of,” says current president Mack Barrett.” And she has done a great job with it.”
