Don’t you just love it when everything turns green… It just tells you that cruising season is in full swing! Hey there all you crazy cool car cats. This issue we’re gonna talk about some upcoming events, so let’s get to it!
The return of the new and improved Real Man’s Yard Sale is coming quickly on August 5. If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard, we are moving up to the Markets at Shrewsberry, so that we might realize our true growth potential. Dave and I tried desperately to find a venue in Harford County to no avail. The Markets at Shrewsbury offers us a ton of space for sellers as well as parking for buyers. Of course the sideline benefit is the outstanding food that’s available inside of the market. Spaces will be typical 10 x 20 for $25 paid before July 16th, $30 after. We will also offer some spaces around the perimeter of the sale field for trucks and trailers for $60 paid before July 16th, $70 after, that will include enough space for your rig and some selling space. Of course there will be a car corral as well, with space available for $25 paid before July 16 and $30 after. It’s important that I note that you need to be cognizant of your space requirements. If you even think that you may need two spaces to contain your sale display, buy it now.
This year we’ve managed to set up our website so that you can go to savethehobby.org and register online by clicking a button which will get you to an application, and then on to your payment method. Since we are nonprofit, if you would be so kind as to choose the option to pay the transaction fee yourself, that would be wonderful! Dave is including a copy of the registration form on the facing page for you non-techies to use. Fill it out in it’s entirety and forward it to the address indicated along with your payment. We are looking forward to an incredibly successful event… We hope to see you there!
I’ve mentioned before that there are some clubs in the area that have committed funds to the foundation from the proceeds of their car shows. The Chesapeake region of the AACA, the Buick owners of Maryland and the Freestate region of the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America are all hosting events in the very near future. You will find their listings here in the magazine, so please make it a point to attend those events and help do your part to make their event successful and to also indirectly, donate to the CCCEF.
Don’t forget that the CCCEF hosts a cruise at the Harford Vineyard and Winery on the third Saturday of each month. It’s absolutely free, so there’s no reason not to come.
The venue offers outstanding wines along with some snack items, not to mention the outstanding ambience and serene setting. Please make it a point to come by and if possible, be generous, since the donation jug is always nearby!
As I write this, we are preparing to head down to Ocean City for one of the biggest events of the season! I am most certain that I’ll see many of you there! And as always.
I’ll see you on the return road! – Doug
