Millersville Lions Will Hold Car Show

The second annual Millersville Lions Club Car, Truck, & Bike Show promises to be entertaining for aficionados and people who simply enjoy seeing classic vehicles.

The event will be held rain or shine on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Philip the Apostle Roman Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster.

Lion Jim Kalenich said the decision to include motorcycles was a big hit at the inaugural event.

Owners who register their vehicles on or before Saturday, Aug. 30, will pay a discounted fee to enter. Call Eric Dumm at 717-682-1138 for more information. Registration will also take place from 9 to 10 a.m. on the day of the event. There is no admission charge for spectators.

Proceeds will benefit Blue Rock Fire Rescue. "That's what we're doing this for," said Kalenich. The Millersville Lions Club has been a longtime supporter of the fire company. Two years ago, the Lions gave each Blue Rock member a $75 gift card. Kalenich said, "We usually give money, and we thought we would get the community more involved and see if they help us raise money, rather than us going out and trying to raise it a different way. We thought people can enjoy (the car show) a little bit better."

Blue Rock Fire Rescue will have representatives and apparatus at the event. The fire company recently began a capital campaign to raise money for a new $10 million firehouse.

El Sandwichon, Cool Summer Soft Serve Ice Cream, and Nil's Funnel Cakes will have food trucks on-site.

There will be chances to win prizes, including a foursome at Crossgates Golf Club; four hours of golf simulation at White Rose Indoor Golf; and gift cards or prizes from Decades, Escape on Queen, Sickman's Mill, Country Barn, Advanced Auto Care, Classic Estate Jewelry, Turning Point Restaurant, Painting With a Twist, Thistle Finch Distillery, Harvest Restaurant, Stoner Care Car Products, Warehouse District Beer Garden, Bert & The Elephant, and Board and Brush.

Two auto parts vendors will participate.

Lion Eric Dumm said there will be numerous trophies awarded to winning vehicles in a variety of categories, including best in show, people's choice, and best truck. Snyder Funeral Home and Roberts Automotive will be trophy sponsors.

"I have two cars I'm putting in, and I'm going to just let the kids sit in them and get the picture taken," said Dumm, who jokingly added, "As long as they don't have ice cream."
