Helping with local car show. Looking for advice/ideas

Hi Steve , I was the President of a car club in Massachusetts back in the 1990's . We put on a car show in August every year . They are now in their 26th year . Made some mistakes . But worth the effort . They even hosted the Good Guys Event at the Big E . FIRST: Organization ; make a plan . SECOND: Manpower ; more the better . THIRD : SPONSORS; more the better, our show now has sponsors chasing us . FORTH: Venue; grass is best , asphalt is ok . FIFTH: Free stuff , do not charge participants a fee to enter, never **** on the people whom you invite . charge the public . SIXTH: Food & beverages , invite a food truck if you can't cook . SEVENTH: Insurance , x-tremly important . EIGHTH: Absolutly NO alcohol , gasoline and booze don't mix . NINTH: Trophies optional (public pick) witnessed fist fights over trophies . TENTH: After show party for all who worked their asses off . Can be at a later date . There it is in a nutshell . If you need any more help pm me . Later, Tom
Agree with all above. 10 1/2 At the workers party discuss what can be done better next year and make notes. A lot gets forgotten in a year.
