The sun was shining last Sunday, June 18, and Union Street was bustling for the annual Liberty Lions Club Father's Day Car Show. An impressive turnout of 119 entries including top-tier new and classic cars, tractors, bikes, military vehicles, pedal cars and more. The vehicles lined Union and Market streets with the courthouse in the background and the local shops on the opposite side, making for a picture-perfect stop during the holiday's afternoon.
