Darlene Mullen and her husband Bob are a driving force behind the Lions Club September Car & Motorcycle Show.
- Americana deals with the the culture and artifacts that Americans hold dear. We like our cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Since Hernry Ford figured out how to make them accessible to the masses, we have never turned back. They have fueled our economy and the growth of a nation, and made our hearts race.
The Lions Club Show in September has grown into a major community event centered around our love of things that go fast. A few scenes from this year’s show will illustrate how those who love to show their cars, trucks, & bikes and those who love to look at them helped create a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
