Helene victims to benefit from Lions Cruise In

October 2, 2024 by Alan Sloan

With 20 cars/owners showing up, at least one dating back to the 1930s, 10th Annual Farragut Lions Club Cruise In car show in JCPenney’s parking lot along Parkside Drive beat the wet weather and began helping Helene flood and wind-damage victims in Upper East Tennessee.

“We couldn’t be more excited for the community support showing up, even though the weather looked like it was going to be bad,” said Tyler Hunsaker, FLC president. “... We couldn’t be more proud of our sponsors: we’re super thankful to Matlock Tires, Peachtree Financial, Josh Ellis State Farm, Farragut (High School FIRST) Robotics club, our Farragut Lions, TDS — and we also had Scouts here.

"We’re super thankful for JCPenney providing the parking lot. ... We had a great day.”
