Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

Last year a group of us went out to dinner after getting the Friendly lot ready for the show. I have talked to someone at a local pub/eatery very near Friendly Chevrolet and if we have a head count they will set us up with a place to eat and make sure we have service.

I met with Bryan this morning and it is time to put together a head count for:

#1: Those who will be able to work getting the lot ready late Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours;

#2: Work at the show on Sunday.

Let me know if anyone is interested in going out for a sandwhich Saturday evening and I will make arrangements.

Please post your availability so we know.

Count me in for Saturdays setup and dinner. Not sure yet about Sunday.

 NO to # 1 due to the 18th being our anniversary night (28 years!  )

YES to # 2.

Bryan, does the revised parking plan include a way to line the cars up?  Last year ended up a little 'snakey' with the front ends of the cars.  Maybe lay down some rope or cones as a guide?

Im in for both days as well.

Logi and I are in for all day on Sunday,what time ?

Sunday will be an 8am show up time. Show opens at 10, but you know there will be early birds who will have to wait a little bit. It will also give us time to help guide in vendors, set up operations, put out door prizes, and put road signs up, etc.

Stan-I'm thinking snapping chalk lines would be best. We can't do anything permanent and the lines will wash away quickly.

Count me in for both days. Don't know about the dinner but will help move cars.

I can help with that as well.

Can't help on the 18th.   Camaro Club evening show.
I plan to be there Sunday, but maybe not at 8 am. Saturday will be a late night.

 I plan to be at both events and can help out with whatever needs to be done on the day of the shows. I will probably leave Sunday early from the show as Sunday is race night.

It looks like we might make it after all. Not sure what kind of schedule I would have for the weekend. It is over 150 miles from here and about 30 from our "hotel" in Edin Prairie (Cathy's sisters). Not sure if I want to put 400 miles on the Chevelle or drag out the bus and load the trailer. Not sure what help I would be, but could sit behind a table and hand crap out or something.

You would be very helpful at the registration table...

Dan, all these years I've known you... you've always been good at handing out crap!

 Gas jumped 30 cents a gallon today alone down here! If I bring the bus, I am up to almost $250 just for gas. If the price continues to rise, my crap handing out carreer might be over before it even starts!If I do make it, I would be willing to work the registration (at least the late registrations, my hours are world famous).Just set me up close to Stan.

last year we had larry there pretty much the whole day, he was in a similar capacity, plus a couple others who did the table most of the time. We certainly can always use the help. Even with parking or flagman, or just another body circulating around with the club's shirt. We'd love to have you, but I also understand.

Can anyone get the stuff from John D this weekend? Even if you can get it to me, I can get it to the show. We need the tables, pop-up, and the Chevelle Row signs. if we had to, we can forgo the tables (and go to plan B), but the popup is pretty crucial without shade.

We also need our cash box and the 2 part raffle tickets if they can be brought to the goodie bag stuffing, car moving, or the show. Who's got them?

We could use a couple extra chalk snap lines to mark parking lanes

bodies, bodies, bodies..... things go quicker with more people.

Not sure of my weekend plans yet (other than going to King of Diamonds car show sat...), but I MIGHT be able to get the tables, pop up, and signs from JD and bring some of it to your house Bryan.  Then I could bring some of it to the show on the 19th. 

Or, if any of our retired friends in the metro are out and about tomorrow, maybe they could stop by JD's in the p.m. and get that stuff to you? 

Mike (OscarZ) has the cash box and I think the raffle tickets.  If he doesn't have the tickets, they are at Craig S.' place in the apparrel tubs.

Cool, thanks. Oscar will be shuffling the cash box to me today I believe.

Who's got our Chevelle Row boards?

btw, I had to scroll back up to see who Yellow Bowtie was again. Ian needs to post more......

Same as last year, club members do not have to pay for show entry but also will not be considered for awards or door prizes. If you DO want to be eligible, you pay the $10. Entered cars will have a dash info sheet like the other shows. Club cars not entered will get some sort of VIP dash sheet.

I also am looking for one volunteer to specifically take pics of the cars as they enter. More info this weekend, but basically a low shot that also shows the Friendly building front in the background.

Goodie bag stuffing will be at 6:30 at Corvette Specialties on Thursday.

We will need bodies to move cars on Saturday evening, time to follow.

Sunday I will have the gates open at 8 for set-up, vendors will be coming in between then and 9. Show opens at 10.

Any extra orange vests for parking would be nice.

I will verify a time tomorrow. We can't start too early since Friendly will still be open for business and needs the vehicles available to show.

 What time does the sales floor close. I'm just looking for a show time, I have several things going on this weekend and want to at least help out Sat.

We should just buy some orange or yellow vests as a club so we have them.

ill be there to move cars, besides the chevelle row boards what else should i bring.

Bryan,
Maybe you can make a list of tasks to be accomplished and then assign tasks and then supervise activities. Last year you took on maybe too much yourself and your helpers stood around waiting for orders. Don't be afraid to ask others for help.

I have to work Sat, but will be there on Sunday. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Rick

I hope to make all three.

Ill be there at 5p

Count me in for Sat, I'll be there at five.

I'll need to be at your place before 3:30 then...

 

I'll be there at 5:00 as well.

I need to hold on to mine till I'm sure there are no issues with the new set Mitch. Tires shipped Friday, should be here mid-week, rims are here, I’ll get them mounted balanced ASAP, the current set should be available before next weekend.
