Second Annual Hot Summer Wheels Car show - Saturday July 12th

[Raydar]

Announcing the Second Annual Hot Summer Wheels Car and Motorcycle Show
To be held at the Clinton Nature Preserve in Villa Rica GA.
A benefit for Boy Scout Troop 39.

Several of us attended last year, and had great fun!

There will be live music, brought to you by The Way Back Band.
Vendors, prizes, goodies, food, and a soft, comfortable environment where you can relax.

This is no asphalt or concrete parking lot. The venue is a large well manicured grass field, so you can take off your shoes and rest your feet. There will be room beside or behind the cars to set up your lawn chairs, or a picnic. Room for an EZ-Up if you desire. 
There are walking/running trails, and a walking track if you desire. (Sorry no motor vehicles on the tracks or trails. This is, after all, a nature preserve.)
Rest room facilities are provided.

We are expecting over 100 cars in the show, with over 1000 people projected to be in the park throughout the day, as we are hosting a 39K footrace on the same day, at the same venue. This fundraising event would not be possible without the sponsorship of our local businesses who believe in the scouting organization; which provides youth with the structure, knowledge, guidance and support to grow morally, physically, mentally and spiritually. These scouts are the future leaders in our community, and we are asking your support through this fundraiser sponsorship.

I like that park.  It's nice to have a big grassy area to park on.  I expect to be there.

Thanks Charlie!
I was actually a little surprised when Sam moved his last show from this venue to Boundary Waters. This one is much nicer.
============================

A little bit of background on this show...

One of the organizers is a gentleman name Bo Hunt. He's a good friend of mine. Father of my God-children.

He approached me last fall about putting on a car show.
I told him, "Man... I don't know s#!% about putting on a car show. And YOU don't know  s#!% about putting on a car show."
In the past few months he has gone about proving me wrong, in a big way.

He already has got quite a few sponsors lined up. Has entertanment and concessions lined up. (See links above)
And he has enlisted the help and advice of other people who have already done shows at the same venue.
Has this thing pretty well nailed down.

I mentioned at the last meeting that there was also going to be a 39K footrace/run at the same venue.  I was forced to second guess myself on the length. But I was correct.
So if you know any "gonzo runners" that might want to participate in a 39K trail run (you've really got to see this place) tell 'em to come on!

And remember, all proceeds are for the benefit of the Scouts. Troop 39.

I am going to forward a link to this thread to Bo, and invite him to register and comment if he'd like.
Charlie/Pat, if you see a forum registration request from Bo Hunt, please expedite it. Thanks!

Hi Georgia Fiero Club,

I would like to first thank my friend, Steve, for bringing our show to your attention. I would also like to thank you for your interest in what we are projecting to be a great show!

We have arranged 2 bands for the event; a Beatles Cover band scheduled from 10:30A- 12:30P, and a band called The Way Back Band, a band that plays Top Tracks from the 50's, 60's and 70's playing from 1P- 3P. To see their partial playlist and hear their clip, go to www.waybackband.com/

We will have goodie (swag) bags for the first 150 registrants guaranteed, and for everybody who registers (with payment) before June 1st, a free event t-shirt is guaranteed. There will be dash plaques, hand-made trophies, created by Boy Scout Troop 39, a very unique and unusual 50/50 drawing, and much more.

It has been rumored that Sam Memmolo will be out after his radio show airs Saturday morning for a meet and greet and to check out the cars. We have over $1000 provided to us for a Silent Auction, with products ranging from Sound Systems and window tinting to alignments and free massages.

It is going to be a great event benefiting a great set of young Scouts! Registration is now LIVE online as well at www.HotSummerWheels.com.

Also, look for us on Facebook. Go to the community site and "Like" us, (https://www.facebook.com/HotSummerWheelsShowAndShine) and help us spread the word about the show. Let us know that you stopped by, and have an interest. Go to the "Events" tab, and click on that you are coming. It's awesome to see new people on our Facebook site. It really gets the Scouts excited to see people taking an interest.

Thanks for everyone's time and review. I look forward to seeing you guys on Facebook, on the registration page at www.HotSummerWheels.com, and at the show!
