The 18th Annual Alzheimer’s Association Benefit Car & Truck Show
We could not have asked for a more beautiful day! The weather was perfect for a car show, and by 7:30 the cars and trucks started rolling in for a show that was supposed to start at 10:00! Wow. By the end of the day, we had 376 cars, trucks and motorcycles registered.
Butch is still counting the money we made selling t-shirts, the raffles, the auction, registration, spectator’s gate and donations.
Special thanks to Golden Gears who donated $1,200 to
the cause, to Pat Kelly who donated $1,000, and to
Sugarloaf Mountain AACA who donated $500, Kingsley
Edwards donated $300 and Celebrate Frederick donated
$100 .
The auction was a huge success. It lasted 2 hours - several participants in the show actually showed up with some neat contributions to the auction. Some of the highlights of the auction were the Estate Planning donated by Scott A. Morrison, a beautiful handpainted custom mailbox donated by Mark Naylor (to see his designs, go to www.dentmansdesigns.com), some Coke collectibles, gift certificates, neon signs, car care items, banners (garage art!), a neat metal Chevy tool box, Disney World passes, mufflers, a round of golf, a remote start kit which included installation, a bushel of crabs and more. You never know what’s going to show up at the auction! Many thanks to Teresa S and Sharon who unpacked and displayed all the “stuff” and Peggy Kaplan. Marsha Z and Beth Smith who served as our clerks. Thanks to JR and Joanne Rosenberger for providing the great big top tent for lots of shade on a very sunny day!
The moon bounce, sponsored by Harmony Dental Lab, was a huge hit. Many thanks to Shrek – Rick DeBow who courageously supervised the moon bounce all day!
We had several members who manned the Spectator’s Gate, including Ed Ruble, John Stein and Michelle Haczewski and the take at the Spectator’s Gate was terrific – definitely worth standing out in the road with our hands out!!
Many thanks to John Chance who arranged with the Law Mall to let us cover the No Parking signs again. I don’t know where we would have parked all those spectators!
We had more vendors than ever before, and everyone seemed to enjoy doing some browsing and shopping. State Farm Insurance was there offering free VIN etching, and the Alzheimer’s Association set up a table with information just to name a few!
