If you like classic and other interesting cars, motorcycles or bicycles, downtown Lafayette is the place to be on Father's Day, June 19. That's because the Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary Club is presenting the second annual "Motorama - World of Wheels" in the parking lot shared by Postino restaurant and the Clocktower on Mount Diablo Boulevard. Dads (and everyone else) are invited. Gates to the public open at 9:00 a.m. Admission is free.
Unlike some car shows, Motorama strives to be big enough to have plenty to see, small enough to make it easy to see it all, and diverse enough to have something for a wide range of tastes. "This is a fun, low-key, family-friendly display of many different types of cars, motorcycles and bicycles, ones that bring smiles to the faces of both enthusiasts and the general public," said event chair Krysten Laine.
You can also treat Dad to the VIP Tent, where, for a modest fee, massages, Scotch tastings and special surprises await. Food and beverages will be available for all. "This event is a real hit with all ages," said Laine. Turnout at last year's inaugural was estimated at 2,000.
"Rotary is a 106-year-old service organization," said club president Thomas Peeks. "Among the many local community service projects we sponsor is our popular HOME Team, started a year ago. Club members volunteer their time in performing minor but important home repair and maintenance chores for seniors who can no longer do them themselves."
Peeks stressed that all net proceeds help to fund service projects. "Not one cent goes to overhead or administrative costs."
