Nearing the end of the Season

It's almost the end of the 2010 car show season.  What a great season it has been too.  This year the American Reflections Open Car Show was more successful than it has ever been.  Probably due to the early date and the hard work our club puts into it.  We make sure that everyone has a good time and goes away with something.  Prices are going up on the other shows and quite often they don't have enough items or features to keep most of the car owners interested. 

The car show scene is getting to be a focus for everyone who wants to raise quick money.  Unfortunately, the cost of these shows all to often fall on the car owners themselves.  Although many of the shows are for great causes, I can see why car owners are selective in the shows they want to attend each year.  This is one of the reasons that I am trying, along with the club, to keep the costs down and provide a great show with lots of prizes, tophies, dash plaques and other items for the  participant and spectators to enjoy.  We want our show to improve each year.

Naturally, a few members have said goodbye to us this year but we have also signed several new members.  So many in fact that we may be forced to look for a larger meeting place if it keeps up.  Still, we welcome anyone that wants to look at our club.  Our meetings are every second Thursday of the month at Magics Pizza Parlour in Selah at 7PM.  Members usually show up about 6PM so they can visit until 7.  The meetings then usually don't take much over an hour. 

Speaking of Magic Pizza, I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank you to them for providing us with a meeting place and being so kind to us for the last 2 1/2 years.  I think our members love going there and I truly believe they love having us.

Each year that we have had the car show in Moxee, we have had vendors. At first, only food vendors.  Then we included car related merchandise vendors.  In 2010 we had 13 vendors who not only sold merchandise and food but a person could purchase items for their pet, their kids, theirselves,  or even pick up car insurance.



I think that some of the regular readers of this blog check back often, even though I do not regularly change what they look at.  I would like to announce that our next car show will be on May 22, 2011 at the park in Moxee, WA.  It will be our 11th annual show and therefore our 11th year in existance as a club.  Look forward to the same great setting, prizes, trophies, music and amount of fun. 

On this site, there will be one listing after this to get us through the winter months.  I would like to take that listing and talk about our great sponsors and maybe provide you with some of their web addresses.  Please visit these sponsors who support us and use their goods and services.  They are true friends of the American Reflections Car Club.
