A BIG Thank You!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers that helped to make our 1st BIG CAR SHOW a big success. We did have a few bumps in the road and with those, we will make some needed changes, to make it much smoother next year. We had a total of 97 entries in this year’s show. This was up, approximately 38 cars! This could not have been done without all of your help. Those of you that stepped up to help, I thank you very much! What a great group of people! We did get several comments that this was a great show, and that could not have happened without all of you! I thank you thank you thank you, for all you did. I truly do appreciate each and every one of you!

Thanks
Bob
