| Event: | Kars for Kids Car Show |
| Date: | 12-May-01 |
| Location: | Sonic Drive-In, Austin TX |
| Description: | The annual Kars for Kids car show was yet another
success. With beautiful weather, a tremendous number of car clubs
brought their pride and joys. There were the Model T clubs, the
Corvette and Mustang/Cobra/Shelby clubs, the fire trucks, BMW cars,
Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac, Pontiac and Chevrolet clubs. Even race
cars and model RC cars. And the Lone Star MVPA!
Danny brought out a civilian hummer on-loan from his daughters company Lumatec Inc. Barry showed up with his "Desert Storm" buggy and Scott drove his '53 M38A1. In addition, Bill M and Claude showed up for the festivities. All entrants received a 'goodie' bag with lots of neat little 'stuff'. There was a silent auction with a variety of items up for sale. And a real auction of items later in the afternoon. The total amount raised for a children's home was $18,554 Overall, there appeared to be significantly more people and vehicles then in previous years. The band was not obnoxious this year. In addition, several people inquired about our club activities, meetings etc. We may have solicited a few new members as a result! |
