From the Desk of Darrel Burnett
Executive Director
The month of July is a month of celebration here at The Automobile Gallery & Event Center. July 4th, we celebrate our nation’s 245th birthday. I never take the resiliency of this great country of ours for granted and the risks our founding fathers took in the face of great danger to establish our freedom. Our country has faced many challenges in nearly two and a half centuries but those challenges pale in comparison to the sacrifices our founding fathers made for our freedom. I hope you take a quiet moment to say a heartfelt thank you to those who matter most and to celebrate the greatest nation in the world.
This is also the month we celebrate the opening of our new 8500 square foot expansion at The Automobile Gallery & Event Center. Originally a Packard dealership that surrendered to the Depression in 1934, the Lewis Building on our campus has been home to several businesses since but it has never looked like it does now! You will be amazed at the beauty. Most importantly, our visitors will be able to enjoy many more of our fabulous collection later this month. Stay tuned for the official grand opening! We lost our great Founder Red Lewis earlier this year and I know somewhere Red is smiling as his dream expands.
