Chairman, Steve Nelson, along with co-chairs Ron and Beverly Young, have
been working on this event. Steve has met with Candy Barnes, Century 21
LeMac East, to work out details of the show. Candy wants to do the show
dash plaques. Candy has been in contact with other merchants in the
Plaza Center and they are also supportive of our event. Ron and Beverly
have been in contact with Mark, from Hog Wild, to make arrangements for
the show awards. The top 50 vehicles will receive an 8X10 inch plaque.
Club member, Steve Cousins, has volunteered to make two "Best in Show"

at this meeting for the Club members to select the preferred design for
the awards. It was agreed to use the simpler design. The "Best in
Show" plaques will be approximately 14X22 inches in size. Thank you,
Steve!! These plaques will be a very special award!! Other topics of
the show discussion included parking issues, separating member cars from
other entrant cars, and baking cookies. More details to follow.

P.S. - Are you
smarter than a Fifth Grader? Well, I'm not. During the Good Samaritan
Nursing Home Display Show/Ice Cream Social on Sunday afternoon, the
13th, I was hung playing the game, "Hangman" with Steve and Bonnie
Cousins' two grand girls, Avery and Quinn. Avery started by choosing
the word and I was to do the letter guessing. I started out with what I
thought would be good letters to pick, T, R, S, M, N, L, A, P, B, O, D.
But none of these letters were in the word. Quinn had guessed H and E
and they worked in the puzzle. I was down to just my eyes and mouth
left. So, I asked a couple questions for clues. I asked "Is this word
an animal?" The answer was "no". I asked, "Could I eat this word,
would it be in the grocery store?" The answer was "no". So, I was hung
on a five letter word. The word was CHEVY. Good job, Avery! Thank
you, Avery and Quinn, for the game, it was fun. (BY)
