The scene along Main Street in Slatington was unlike any in recent memory.

A vast array of bright motorcycles and unique cars lined the borough's downtown on Saturday as part of the first-ever Slatington Fire Department Bike Night & Car Show.Borough Fire Chief Keith Weaver said the event thrived, and thanked all those who played a role in its successful debut."It was awesome," Weaver said. "We really appreciate everyone coming out."The event was held in honor of longtime firefighter Milt "Bup" Greene, who passed away last year. It was hosted by the Teamster Horseman Motorcycle Club, to which Greene, a firefighter for 35 years, belonged to.Kristin Greene, of Allentown, and Julie Haydt, of Northampton, the daughters of Greene, co-organized the event.Kristin said she and her sister worked in conjunction with the Teamster Horseman to ensure the event would go on in honor of their father."We said we would love if we could do some kind of benefit for our dad." Kristin said. "Our dad loved this community."Kristin said her father took a particular interest in the Fireman's Statue on Main Street, which became his "main drive in life."Julie spoke of more of her late father's beloved qualities."Dad brought us up to do whatever we could for whoever we could," Julie said. "Even though we don't live here, his memory deserves to be here."Kevin and Deanna Zuercher, of Slatington, certainly didn't have to travel far in their 2012 Harley-Davidson Street Glide to attend the function.Deanna said "It's nice to support a local event."Just down the street, Bill Ritz, of Slatington, could be seen rocking to the sound of Unstable Ground, which was one of six bands that performed at the event. Other bands who performed were Handel; Stingy Jack; CA/CD; Breach The Sound; and The Secret System."It's great," said Ritz, who has his own band, Hundred Steps. "It's our type of music."A little further down the street, Domenico Recchia, owner of Mama's Pizza, at 655 Main Street, set up a small vendor in which he sold customer favorites such as mini-Stromboli, taco pizza, and garlic knots.Recchia said "Hopefully it's a success for everybody."Proceeds raised will go toward the restoration of the Fireman's Statue, while the rest will go to the fire company to apply toward the payment of its 2012 fire truck, Weaver said.
