We will be returning to Warminster Community Park again this year and are looking forward to another great event with all proceeds being donated to Make A Wish.Last year we hosted an estimated 2,000 cars through the day and raised over $12,000 for our local chapter of Make A Wish Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia.We will have sponsors booths set up again this year in a more central area as well as a variety of food vendors on site with some great food choices. We are also collecting some great raffle prizes that you can enter to win at the event. We are working on a couple new attractions at the event as well and will announce them if/when they are finalized.We will be collecting a $5 donation per car at the entrance to help cover our ever rising expenses, and this small donation per car will turn into a huge contribution from our group to Make A Wish to help make this our most successful event yet.VIP Parking will also be available again this year for a $25 donation prepaid via Paypal (or at the gate if spaces remain) to reserve a spot for your car in the primary parking section close to all the action. If you choose VIP Parking you will not also be required to make the $5 per car donation mentioned above.There will be many worthwhile and fun ways to donate at the event so please keep that in mind so we can raise as much money as possible. As always, all proceeds will be donated to Make A Wish Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia.You can expect a huge variety of cars from all of the tri-state area and beyond so start getting ready and we'll see you there!

techboy Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Been to this event ^^^^^ the past 3 years in a row. Tons of cars, some crappy, but some really cool stuff too - always a great time. I definitely recommend the VIP parking just from my own experiences. Hoping to be there with the Quest this year instead of the Eclipse, but IDK, need to crackin' finishing it up. Out of all those cars - only ever seen 1 other Quest at this event. That's it.

BuGG Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 They sure do have a lot of rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 You're right ... they do. One of my best friends is on the staff of this event and they have had SOOO many problems with ppl being jerks and local police that they've had to move the event to different locations 3 times. This is by far the best venue they've had and I think they'd really like to stay for a long time - so, if you read between the lines I think they're trying to minimize problems so the park commission and local authorities don't tell them to pack it up and never come back. As someone who is president of a non-prof car show event - I can relate. There's nothing easy to putting together a car show that pleases everyone.

That is so true... however, when you're pack'n up to go a distance to an all day meet, almost any/most rodders are coming w/ chairs & a pop-up. Gotta keep the sun off of you if you're lucky; & if not not... cover for the rain. That was my only real turn-off within the guidelines. It's a great format foundation, does alot of great things for people across this nation, Thanx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 We just had our 2nd board meeting last night. I'll definitely keep you updated ... there will eventually be a post on this board when everything is set .... we are probably just a few weeks away from locking in a date for this year's show. Just a few more phone calls to make this week. Have to make sure everything's a green light for this year .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
