St. Patrick's Day Parade - March, 2023
Lion Jay Blake is the owner of the "Follow a Dream" funny car.
Jay was a mechanic who lost his eye sight in a worksite accident. Following the accident, Jay pursued his dream and became the only blind owner/crew chief in the world of motorsports. Jay is often invited to speak to groups of adults or youth, educating on the power of positive thinking, self determination, and teamwork through motorsports. Jay is an active member of the B-Y Lions and loans his car to the club to participate in local parades. That's Jay sitting in back of the pull car having fun, even in the rain!
Many thanks to the Dennis-Yarmouth Leo club, our high school partners, for marching along with us and carrying the banners in the rain.
