We want to congratulate Jerry and Kathi Mowery, and Donnie Gaines who were runner ups in their classes; and Bob and Susan Anderson, Terry And Patsy Beaty, Wesley Gaines and Betty and Vince Messer, who won their classes in the Gold Star competition. Wesley also took home the :”Rising Star” award for entrants under the age of 21. In the ISCA competition Luke and Carolyn Souther won their class and received a “Best Display” award.



New Business: Event vendor fees; (1) The fee for the season of seven events, $175.00, paid in advance; (2) fee for unrelated commercial vendors (including political parties) will be $250.00 per event, paid in advance. “Unrelated Vendors” are those that offer non-automotive parts and/or services or do not offer food service. (3) The fee for dealers of new motorized vehicles will be $50.00 per vehicle, paid in advance. (4) The fee for a single event will be $35.00, paid in advance, or $40.00 on the day of the event. (5) Companies sponsoring an event may set up a display during that event at no charge. The Cruise-in politics policy is: any candidate seeking office is allowed to attend the cruise-ins and greet potential voters. If any candidate or political party wants to set up a booth, they will be charged the vendor fee of $250.00, to be submitted and in hand before the event, not the day of the event. The two major political parties will be notified by mail of this requirement. We will also request that the candidates or their representatives refrain from placing flyers in or on cruise-in vehicles. We request that the candidates or their representatives pick up any material of theirs that may be discarded on the premises.



Club members Bob and Susan Anderson, Terry and Patsy Beaty went to the Alabama “O’Reilly’s World of Wheels” and won in their classes. Congratulations!



Questions/Recommendations: Steve Harrell from the Edsel Club recommended Brian Scoggins; who designs car tags; he did a great job for them. And Joe Sharp recommended white vinegar to get rid of rust (on things like old car tags) but he stated” it does too good of a job.” And Joe still wants any information on old Tennessee license plates that you have; he is writing a book on them.
