Our Time With the Community in Medford, WI
Our Medford Community and Home
- Since 2018 we have been "Growing Our Roots in the Community." by giving away apple trees to customers with every purchase, test drive, and service appointment. Medford Motors, Inc. is proud to have given over 300 apple trees to our customers per year- This Spring we are at it again with already another 300 apple trees ordered!
- Drive 4 Ur School Programs.
- You can expect to see Medford Motors, Inc. at all of the parades year over year and almost every week during the summer months!
- Involvement in the hockey programs - David "Beaner" Lemke coached both girls and boys hockey for a combined 18 years all while running his own business!
- Our "Stone-Age" theme has been a huge hit in our local communities, poking fun at other "pre-historic" vehicle makers for their rusty vehicles while Ford has upgraded to the "Aluminum Age".
It's not uncommon for us to have 4 generations of Lemkes at the parades every weekend!
