Allllright, it's only 10 days away. We're to the point now that we need to know who from the club will be attending so we can get VIP dash cards made up.

 

We also need to know who will be volunteering to help with the various duties that need filling during the show, as well as before and after. We've had a great turnout in the past, and it really shows how much we care about the show and the club. I'd like to see that continue again this year. The following is a list of jobs that we will need bodies for, the length of time I think we need to fill, and how many people we'll need (many of these can overlap):

SATURDAY EVENING 5PM: move cars to clear space for the show. We'll also be laying out chalk lines for parking again. This can go pretty quick with 12 people.

Sunday morning 8:30 (before show opening): assemble the registration area, lay out the door prizes, goodie bags, trophy table. Need 2 people

Sunday morning before opening: hang banners, post no parking signs need 2 people

Sunday once we open 10:00: registration table 2 people, outside flagman 1 person, gate person (moneyman) 1 person, photographer 1 person, parking flagman 2 people

Once the main rush is over, we can pretty well settle into just a moneyman, the registration table, photographer, and the occasional special project I have.

Trophy time: We'll need our club to vote and at awards time, we'll have to bring the trophies over to the PA system. whomever is on-hand

At the end of the day, we will need some hands to take down and roll up the banners, help with garbages and general clean up. 4 people

I know it sounds like a lot but the brunt of it is right away in the morning, then it's more or less hang out and help where needed as it's needed.

 

Also, please wear a club logo shirt so our club is as visible as possible. This is one of the best ways to promote our club.

I voted 'Yes'.

I'm in for all of it.  My wife might help with moving cars, but not sure yet.  It was fun and easy a couple of years ago, plus dinner afterwards was fun with the group.

I'll help wherever needed on Sunday.

We are in for both.

My .02 worth. I think you are way understaffed on parking. We have had three in the past and that was not sufficient. You also need some type of traffic vest for identification. Club shirts don't cut it, everyone is wearing a gray t-shirt.

I was only counting for our club, hopefully there will be some help from MSMA. I also already have 2 orange vests and am working on a couple more. Thanks for the input!

Goodie bags are done, Dave and his son came over, plus MSMA Mike was there, done in 1/2 hour or so. Trophies are ordered and getting picked up in a couple days, things are falling into place nicely, (including the weather), Chuck the DJ, the corn dog/food guy and the food truck Jellybean and Julia's are both ready too. The plan is together for directional signs, and TPiS is getting his dyno setup ready to pack and transport.

LET'S FILL THE LOT!

Here's a VIP pass/window card for anyone who's not showing their car. Print it out and put this on your dash in place of the regular info sheet.

Rain or shine. I wrote into the commitments that the show will start regardless, but it may be called if the weather does not look to turn positive for the duration.

What I have learned is that they typically predict the weather for the entire state and for the 24 hour cycle and for the most part, the weather is still unpredictable. Even though my roommate in college became a weatherman, he had a good perspective: There's only one other profession that allows for only 33% accuracy over a career, and in baseball that gets you into the hall of fame.

I have been watching Mr. Weatherman and the precipitation percentages keep going up for Saturday night into Sunday. I have not encountered the issue before when hosting a car show (other than an interruption for a short lived thunderstorm). I don't see any contingent locations and light rain doesn't "hurt" anyone (other than not wanting to bring their car out). At what point and what weather conditions does one "call it" because of rain? When everyone leaves?

No weather comments from me after my track record last year!!!   Shutup

I think our show is rain or shine.  Bryan will have to comment.

We had a few "rain-outs" at Camaro Club Shows. You still have to set up and be prepared to follow thru. If no participants show up or stay beyond an hour, then pack it in and go. I'll have my rain coat with me....rolleyes

Sorry, not going to make it tonight after all, but Tina and I will be there in the morning to set up and Tina wants to help with registration.

I'm bringing donuts for the early crew!

 Ah yes, doughnuts, one of the three major food groups.  Shortly before I retired I was working an overnight shift monitoring some electronic equipment.  A bunch of real young guys replaced us at sun up.  They walked in with bagels, cream cheese and some kind of fufu coffee.  We asked where the doughnuts and coke were and they looked at us like we were from another planet.  I knew it was time to retire.
