I
realize that October is a few months down the road, however, "this year"
we truly want to get all of our ducks in a row, before we run out of time.....
For those of you
who have never been to our car show, it is quite an event full of beautiful old
and new cars. The park is full of both car people and campers attending
the car show. Again this year we are going to have a parade of cars out
of the park running into Coldspring for an evening of shopping and "hopefully"
a band. We're always looking for some help with this.
The judging goes
on Saturday and Sunday til afternoon. During this time our judges will be
touring the park in our "official Car Show Mule" and performing their
duties as a judge. Awards will be handed out around 3'ish.
The Chamber sells
BBQ and the Marina Store teams up with the Chamber selling chips, drinks, candy,
all kinds of things anyone would want. We try to make it easy for all of
the participants and visitors to shop and find something they would want. Lisa
at the Marina Store also has golf for the kids, boats for rent, fishing
supplies, and has a few camping spots around her store. By the way, if you are
planning on attending on Oct 6 and 7th, I suggest you make reservations now for
your camping spot. The park fills up quickly and months before the show.
Book early ... the park # is 936-653-4312.
We are hoping
to have many vendors this year. Please, if you are a
merchant, a vendor, any business related to vehicles, either repairing of, or
painting, or anything to do with a vehicle, we would love for you to consider
being a vendor at or car show. We have several thousands of people come
through the park on that particular weekend and they all are looking for things
to buy, ideas, assistance, even insurance. We also, have had jewelry vendors
come out and they do a great job with their items. We have had an
embroider come out and bring their machine and actually work at the show, as well
as clothing. In fact, Crazy Ranch design is going to be one of our vendors
this year with clothing and purses etc.
The awards this year will be done through sponsors.
Each year we look for businesses or individuals to sponsor over 150 trophies.
If you are a business and are interested in sponsoring the complete set of awards,
please call the Chamber Office as soon as possible - 936-653-2184. This would
place your name on ALL trophies as well as our official Car Show shirt and banners. Plan
early and we look forward to seeing you at the show! |
