The Clawson Lions Club's 27th Annual
"Down on Main Street" Charity Car Show
Saturday, August 9, 2025
Was A Huge Success!

Despite crushing heat and humidity the Clawson Lions Club's 27th "Down on Main Street" Charity Car Show carried on a long Motor City tradition of showing off spectacular rides. The sun kept the paint and chrome blazing all day Saturday. Over 300 entries were in the Show and more than 6,000 spectators "invaded" downtown Clawson to check out the fabulous street machines. When the judging was finally over, more than 250 trophies and other awards found new homes with lucky owners.

This year, WDIV's "Local4 News Morning" featured our Car Show on-air as the vehicles were arriving early Saturday morning. 4Warn Weather Meterologist, Bryan Scheuerman, skillfully juggled doing his regular job as a weather forecaster in between interviewing car owners and several special guests arriving for the Show. Bryan, his videographer, Mondrae, and the whole crew back at WDIV's studios really made the Lion's Car Show and Clawson shine!

We want to extend our sincere thanks to all the business and individual sponsors who make this event such a success. Without their unwavering support, in good times and bad over the past 26 years, we couldn't pull it off. A special thanks to our Corporate Sponsors Double Action Indoor Shooting Center & Gun Shop, City of Cars, Huffmaster Business Solutions, Purvis & Foster, Inc, Weiss Distilling Company, and Whiskey Taco Foxtrot and all of the rest of our business and individual sponsors in the list below. Their generous support helps us cover the costs of putting on the Show. And a huge shout-out to our volunteers who worked registration, staging, judging, trophy presentations, and logistical support -- they do so much behind the scenes to make an event of this size a success.


Finally, let's not forget our biggest supporter and partner, the City of Clawson and all of the City staff. Without the help of the Police, Fire, Public Works and supporting departments, we couldn't shut down one of the major arteries in our town from sun up to sun down the day of the show and have everything back to normal without a trace the following day.

The "Down on Main Street" Car Show is the centerpiece of the Clawson Lions Club's yearlong fundraising efforts to benefit local charities. As always, all proceeds from the Show go to Leader Dogs for the Blind, Eversight Michigan, Beaumont Silent Children, the Penrickton Center for Blind Children in Taylor and all the other charities and projects the Clawson Lions Club supports throughout the year.

Every year, the Clawson Lions try to shake things up a bit, add something new, improve on what we've done the last time, pray for good weather and ask our sponsors to please help us again. This year was spectacular but we're already making plans for 2026. Next August will bring yet another opportunity to work together for all the right reasons -- the charities the Clawson Lions support through fundraising events like this and your generous contributions throughout the year.
