Troop 135 would like to thank you for taking the time to find
out about this years car show. We know that the weather has became an issue
(obviously with the reschedule). According to the powers that be, the rain should
clear out early morning Saturday so:
THE CAR SHOW IS RAIN OR SHINE!
This year are changing a
few things and adding to otheres. We hope to make this
year better than ever!
We decided after talking to some competitors to add more trophies.
In the past, a lot of competitors said the trophies did not
matter, but apparently to some people, that is just not true!
This of course would normally be more expensive and counter to raising
money, but we found a way to make the awards we do give more meaningful
and cost less! In
conjunction with the BSA Woodworking Merit Badge, the boys in the troop
actually made
the awards this year! They worked very hard reclaiming oak and spruce
from a local barn. They plained, cut, routered, glued, and bradded everything
you see with very little adult help! You can see result of their hard
work in the trophies below:
We also decided to schedule a "corn-hole" tourney this year as a way to
keep the car show participants busy and also bring in some extra revenue.
Of course we also had the music of our favorite DJ on-site as usual blasting
the tunes. Due to the weather, we did not have many yard sale/flea marketeers
show up, but there were a few that toughed it out and kept everybody busy.. That
being said, we cannot encourage you enough to bring any old parts you would
like to trade/sell next year. We want this event to be the best it
can for the competitors, the spectators, and the Troop. If you have
any ideas on how to make the show better next year, please take the time
to contact us.
Below is a list of trophies we have awarded in the past:
As always, except where noted, all awards will be Scout's choice.
You get to see how your car compares in the eyes of 12-18 year old
boys! We will do class break at 1980. People's choice
will be determined by donation. Competitors choice will be
made by ballot. There will be a 50/50 raffel like always as
well as door prizes for competitors.
As always, compeitors are given one free meal with entrance into show. We
usually will
have choice of hot dog or burger, chips, and a canned drink. We will
most likely also have a desert treat like a brownie or rice crispy treat
available. Of
course all the food will be available for purchase by the general public. There
is discussion about having BBQ as well!
Competitors can arrive as early as they want. Parking will be on blacktop,
but we are looking into having grass space if desired. All entrants need
to be signed-in before 1:00 so that judging may begin. We hope to have
awards a little earlier this year at 2:00 to try and get out of the sun quicker.
Canopys and camp chairs are welcomed and competitors are encouraged to use
them. Car clubs are highly encouraged to attend, and we will be more
than happy to add other special classes if we know at least 5 cars will
be in attendance.
The show will be held in the parking lot at Bailey's in Millwood:

the edge of two postal codes)
