Rick, I big THANK YOU to you, and of course, Darren, for sharing this stuff with us. Some really neat dealer items.

A couple of times, while you were not around, I could have made a tidy profit on it.

I am just dumbfounded by this. I can't beleive it but we just recieved the advertizing flyer for the Vettefest event on Sat. the 20th! I wonder how they expect to draw people to the show if they are so late in sending out their advertizing? I know it is a long way to Okla but that is rediclous?

It seems like "Mid America Promotions" really dropped the ball on this one...I work in corporate promotions for a major motorsports group here in Arizona and I would be fired for trying to pull off what they did.

Number one, if you're going to have a car show, you then approach vendors who have something to offer that deals with cars...I.E. vendors who sell waxes, chamois, local area custom painters with examples of their work, pinstripers, detailers, and the list goes on and on...

Secondly, the name of the game is marketing what you're trying to "sell". That means print, radio, direct mail,and TV spots at a minimum(one to two months out). Plus hitting all the local car clubs, hang outs, cruises and other car shows with flyers a MINIMUM of 3 months out. There's a lot of leg work involved.

That the F was the deal with the wig shop at a car show?????????? There was also a stand where they were selling $10.00 fake Rolex watches, a Beanie Babie stand, a Southwest Style Coat stand, a silver jewelery stand, a flag pole and house ladder stand, not to mention the usual cheap $5.00 tool, plaster figureines, and 10 different stands selling 1/18 scale die cast cars!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a trade show or a muscle car show???

I could soap box about this pathetic debacle for an hour so I will quit while I am ahead. I fear the future of car shows......

I can't imagine the rationale behind having a wig vendor at a car show, nor a beanie baby vendor, etc.

If the people who had the ladders and flagpoles(telescoping) were an older couple, who had a big bowl of candy in their booth...they're an awfully nice couple...Though they should be marketing their wares at home improvement shows!

I think that Mid America should have second thoughts about having "out of place" vendors next year.

Here in Phoenix, the Motor Trend Auto show is this weekend, and our company is exhibiting ten Harleys there!

See attachment for where I was a few weeks ago in Tempe! Boy, do I have some GREAT photos of the local "wildlife" from that show..but this is an automotive site, not a motorcycle site...right Belair?

Nice to see the "sign" got out for people to enjoy, Rick. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few offers. Now, I wonder if I'll be able to afford to bring it back home when the new shop is done......
