Calvary Baptist Church will have its first Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Show on Saturday, and the proceeds will be donated to support Emory Valley Center’s Capital Campaign.

The show is scheduled from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, June 6. Calvary Baptist Church is located at 163  North Jefferson Circle in Oak Ridge.

The show is free and open to the public, and it will include fun for the entire family, a press release said. A bounce house, crafts, and activities for children will be part of the day’s event in addition to the show and include local food vendors.

“Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come out and enjoy the variety of cars, trucks, and motorcycles featured in the show,” the press release said. “You can also help choose the winning entries by making a donation to your favorite vehicle. First-, second-, and third-place prizes will be awarded based on which vehicles generate the most ‘votes’ by the highest donations.”

In the case of rain, the event will be moved to Saturday, June 13.

For more information, contact John Ellis at john.ellis@calvaryor.org.

The press release said Emory Valley Center has been meeting the needs of people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities in the community for 60 years. Its mission is to enhance the lives of children, adults, and their families in an environment that promotes independence, dignity and respect.

Emory Valley Center currently provides a wide variety of services including: facility- and community-based day enrichment, supported living, residential habilitation, family model residential, semi-independent living, supported employment, personal assistance, transportation, nursing, speech therapy, physical therapy, adult day services, family support, in-home day, early intervention program, inclusive early learning center (preschool), and representative and payee services.
