Scott Youtsey, our t-shirt vendor, would like suggestions on our Ten Year Shirt.  He would like it to be special for this anniversary year.

Our craft vendors and food vendors fees will be $35.  No extra charge for electric.  We will do our best to have vendors paid ahead of time.  No same day entries.  Form should include deadline information.  This will help to layout vendors and possibly do ahead of time.

Dwayne is looking at having a stage for the Pin Up Contest instead of a flatbed.

Shelters at lake have already been reserved for both 29^th and 30^th.

Dwayne will be work with the lake to see if we can allow vendors park overnight at the lake.

The ThunderBirds and some Firemen are expected to help with parking this year.

We have purchased a program for judging the car show.  We need people to look at it to see how much work and time it will take.  It is a data base program, which will help speed up the judging process.  It will also print the window stickers.

We will need to discuss the times for registration.

We also need to discuss length of Pin Up Contest. 

Last year we had too many dash plaques.  We will need to work on a solutions for number of plaques.  In the past we have put the previous year best of show on the plaque. This year it will match our T-shirts and posters.

Paul Richards asked about interest in a calendar for the club.  The cost to members will be just the cost of producing the calendar.  Rob Barr will assist Paul with details.

On FaceBook we have a club page that is only visible to members.  Sharon Caldwell is the administrator and has sent each member an invite to join the page.  If you don’t have the invite you can ask to join online.  It is Rt 66 Cruisers.
