Re: [Chrysler300] High cost of car shows

["KELLY PIERCE" <jkrestor300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron and group-
   Kelly and I started and helped (from scratch) two car shows in Billings ,
which turned out to be the largest ever in that town. Lots of work, and yes,
lots of expenses. Insurance, Million dollar liability required to cover your
club, the city(held in a city park first year, at a University second) and
major sponsors. Dash plaques, mailing cost, printing, etc. etc. is why car
shows cost money unless you can get a large corporation or civic group to
cover costs. Free cruises are fun, shows too, but we figure it is part of
having cars that we love to drive and show. Free would be great, but we all
know "there's no such thing as a free lunch"......Food for thought-(pun
intended)
