Beehive Drive donates money to Huntington City

By By

The Beehive Drive visited Huntington to make a donation to the town. The roar of the engines could be heard from blocks away as the rare production vehicles pulled into the park. They were escorted by the Utah Highway Patrol to their destinations.
Beehive Drive is a charitable drive for Utah that brings together car enthusiasts with rare vehicles of limited production and philanthropy.
Each year, individuals, communities and charities benefit from Beehive Drive. The mission for Beehive Drive is to provide charitable contributions to a variety of organizations including the Utah Highway Patrol’s Honoring Heroes Foundation, which benefits widows and orphans of fallen peace officers and officers injured in the line of duty; local law enforcement; and local community betterment projects in the areas they visit. They also support education by providing scholarships to students throughout the state of Utah, and sponsor a history and education tour, which sends approximately 40 high school students on an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. annually (beehivedrive.org).
Wes Johnson, co-chair of the Beehive Drive welcomed everyone to the event. The community lunch in Huntington was sponsored by Cache Valley Electric and Sorensen. Johnson presented Mayor Hilary Gordon with a check to be used for community improvements. Johnson also showed the license plate designed by Koria Black of Huntington. The elementary school children of each town the Beehive Drive visits is asked to design a license plate for the drive. Each town has a winner selected. The winning license plate adorns all of the vehicles participating in the drive. The last time the Beehive Drive visited Huntington was in 2009, in the wake of the Crandall canyon mine disaster. Mayor Gordon thanked them for coming and for their support of Huntington.
Mayor Gordon thanked all the city council members Laneea Cowley, Leonard Norton, Joe Ward, Lamar Guymon, along with city employees Jenene Hansen and Ronni Torre; Laneea Cowley, Leonard Norton, Joe Ward, Lamar Guymon, Mark Justice.
