PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE : So On With The Show!
The 20th Cruisin’ the Pines Car Show is here and super kudos to the members that make it possible. So many of you have worked very hard to bring this show to fruition. As all of you know it is a very large car show put on by a relatively small car club. The venue is superb and the content is spectacular including street rods, classic cars, custom cars and trucks, vintage camper trailers, classic boats, motorcycles, the Artisan’s Faire, live music, games, contests, beer sales, art exhibits, raffles, Friday dinner, security, set up and clean up and the list goes on. I don’t think many of our guests realize how much behind the scenes work has to happen to pull off this event. We will give out more than 50 trophies, members had to stripe the entire fairgrounds make and put up signs, design and set up booths, produce raffle tickets, distribute tickets, transport the engine all over to sell tickets, advertise the show, sell shirts, transport all the equipment from storage, find and then organize the vendors, decorate the buildings, the memorial, organize the seemingly easy handing out of trophies which is way more complicated than one would think and so much more. Thanks to all of you for your hard work. The show allows us to give back so much to the community in the form of scholarships, survive the drive, the scouts, other community organizations and the Christmas toy drive. This is a great feather in the cap of the members and we have every reason to be proud of our accomplishment and contribution to our wonderful community. Please take a little time to walk the show, see the cars and exhibits. I know that I find it difficult to actually see the show and I know that is true for a lot of members but you deserve to see the product of your work. So on with the show…. – Jim R., Club President
