I am working on it now. I am waiting to hear back on the beer boot status (they are out of stock), but as soon as I hear back, there will be three different packages.

$30 - Basic (Value of $75)
$50 - Event (Value of $95)
$75 - VIP (Value of $145) <-- Best value

Quick Question: Would you pay $5 more for your Party pack, if you got a year magazine subscription to Performance Auto & Sound Magazine included?

Just imagine waking up in the morning, going out to your hotel room and just see people jumping into their cars to head over to the show. On the way there, you'll see a car filling up at a gas station, a group leaving a diner, another group cleaning their cars at a local car wash. And the more and more you drive, you see more cars, your buddies and cars you see online or randomly on the street, but it's all there. Everywhere you look, you'll see it.

The opportunity of having it again at the Interlaken Shopping Center disappeared when the empty CVS store got filled with a DIY Home Depot type Center. Myself and Webb have been going back and forth finding a location that will work this year and future years without breaking the bank.

There are opportunities closer, but with an expense that this year can't afford. As years go by, we can explore those opportunities when more sponsors and more support from outside our community.

We are very excited to have Snow Valley as our host for the Car Show. They are very willing to support our car community and is offering facilities at their venue (during their off season) without charging us a god awful amount of money. They are bringing on staff just for that weekend to run the food service and the beer garden. Also, other staff to handle other odds and ends. So we are very thankful and excited Snow Valley is going above and beyond our expectations.

**A3VRSIX** · 08-19-2011 02:00 PM

oh yeah, Im not complaining. I think it will be cool at Snow Valley the parking lot is surrounded by trees and what not. Gives it a secluded type of feel.

Last comment was more of a joke.

**Road Boss** · 08-22-2011 12:33 AM

Well I will be coming up for the first time. I can't hardly wait.
