A huge THANK YOU to East Cobb Lions Club for supporting our upcoming Charity Car Show! We couldn’t do it without amazing partners like you. Annual Charity Car Show: Adventure Outdoors Parking Lot, 2500 South Cobb Drive, Smyrna, GA

THIS SATURDAY! SMYRNA JONQUIL LIONS CLUB Annual Car Show, taking place at the Adventure Outdoors Parking Lot (2500 South Cobb Drive, Smyrna, GA) on Saturday, September 19th, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Get ready for an exciting morning filled with trophies, raffles, giveaways, sponsor tables, and DJ William Lula spinning classic vinyl records. This year, we’re bringing back the Kid’s Choice Award! Children 12 and under can cast their vote for their favorite ride and will receive a free Hot Wheels car when they turn in their ballot, while supplies last. All vehicle types and years are welcomed! If it’s a cool ride we want to see it. Judging is based on a fair open class judging system where the top 12 vehicles will receive awards. Plus there will also be a Best in Show Trophy for the top vehicle judged, and The People's Choice Award voted on by all the attendees. The Charity Car Show supports the Smyrna Jonquil Lions Club, a volunteer-driven nonprofit carrying forward the mission of Lions Clubs International. Since 1925, when Helen Keller challenged the Lions to lead a “crusade against darkness,” the organization has been dedicated to helping those with vision needs and serving local communities.

In February 1945 a single factory in Marietta had 28,158 people on the payroll. Cobb County held fewer than 40,000 residents in 1940. ✈️

The Bell Aircraft plant started rolling out B-29 Superfortresses in the spring of 1943 and built 663 of them before the war ended. About 37 percent of that workforce were women and roughly 8 percent were Black Georgians, in a state where those jobs had rarely been open to either. When Japan surrendered the contract was cancelled, and by the end of September the place was down to a few thousand workers.

It sat quiet until 1951, when the Air Force asked Lockheed to open the doors again. Marietta has been an aircraft town ever since.

Did anyone in your family work out at the Marietta plant, then or later?
