I can't find any information on the show. Does anybody know if it is happening and when?

I’ll be there, it’s 250 miles for me as well, just a different direction.It's tomorrow... anyone planning on going? It's a 250 mile cruise each way for me.
This is the only club I've seen that holds a ONE day show on a Sunday. This is probably because since I first heard of the club in the early 2000s, they held their shows on a college campus where Saturdays sometimes had class in session.Well the show is tomorrow so pictures today won't show much.....
I'll be in Texas so y'all have fun....

I made the mistake of driving to their show in Fremont one year...Ohlone college. I went on a Saturday and was the first one there at 10:00 AM. I called the wife....back then there was no internet access through the phone. She looked up the show date and laughed...Yeah, it was scheduled for SUNDAY. I drove 2 1/2 hours for nothing.

As I expected, the show was smaller than usual.
I don't know exactly what to blame though. Car clubs rely on volunteers and without them, nothing gets done. Volunteers are UNpaid so when they are lazy or worthless, you can't chastise or scold them because they will just refuse to help. I've seen this play out many times in other situations. "Joe Blow" is late, makes mistakes, loses files, is slow and lazy but without someone else to replace him, you are stuck.
I suspect that this is the case with this club. I'm sure that they have some dedicated members that try their best but how hard would it have been to post on the car forums a few times a week to promote some interest?
I didn't get a count but it looked to me like there was about 2/3 the amount of cars they usually have. The parking lot for spectators was maybe 2/3 full. The swap was about the same as before. After 2 years of NO shows, they really should have had a better turnout and they could have if they promoted the show.
We got there early and set up parts for sale and did better than expected, weather was perfect! No complaints here......
