It seems that there are at least three or four other people s car shows in the area a week. Keep in mind we also are having almost an activity a week too. I encourage you to go to other people s shows and promote AACA while you are there. I also encourage you to attend out activities as well. We have had a lot of interesting activities planned this summer that only a couple of cars attended. This is disappointing. Our really big event, Hershey, is over with. Many of us look forward to it and go every year. I saw several members up there. Tommy Hunt, Fred Becker, John Garnet, the Aftel Family, Lauman Schooler, ( I assume Francis was there too) and Nick Rein. We only had two cars in the show, my 1924 Ford and my 1947 Jeep. Tommy Hunt is our newest Judge. He attended his first judging school and did his apprenticeship, and first CJE.
