Moxee Show is a Success!

One of the reasons I have waited almost 5 days after the show to post this article is that I have been talking to various people that have attended the show to find out what they thought of it.  I have received nothing but positive statements saying that they thought it was the best show that they have attended in quite some time and that they looked forward to the next one.  Many people said that they have attended two day shows that did not offer as many give-a-ways, entertainment, trophies, vendors or fun for that matter.

As the show approached we were intently watching the weather reports because as you know, the weather can make or break a show that you have been planning for months.  As the week began the report stated that there would be rain on Monday thru Thursday and then the sun would shine the rest of the week meaning Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Looked good to us. 

As the week grew older the weather forcast changed and the weather was essentially perfect all week until Saturday when it rained all day.  Our show was the next day, Sunday and we just had two vendors cancel.

There is good news!  Sunday came and the weather was good, not perfect, but good enough to have the best turn out ever!  We had 204 cars at the show from all over Washington State.  We ended up with enough give-a-ways to cover almost everyone.  They loved the free magazines we gave out and the raffle items raised over $650 by themselves.  We had 80 trophies to give out in 22 classes and we had every class of vehicle on site except bicycles.  Yes, it was the best show ever.

Let me take a little space to thank some of our major sponsors of which the show probably could not have taken place without them.  If at all possible, we all need to do business with these people because they have gone the extra mile for us.
