Car Show Opportunities - not official club activities

Good morning,

Happy New Year and welcome to 2009. There are a couple of great car shows coming up in the Apopka area in Feb. and March I wish to call to your attention. "at the Hop" is a benefit for the Cancer Resource Center at Apopka High School and will include a classic car show, limited to 1972 or older, a bike show, dancing and entertainment and hot dogs and hamburgers included in the price of admission. There will be 3 People's Choice Awards. The event will run from 3 pm to whenever, with food served from 3-6 pm, and the date is Sunday, Feb. 15. The show is sponsored by Zellwood Pub & Cafe and SRS Catering and will be held at Windy Hill Ranch at 3620 Kelly Park Rd., Apopka, FL. The owners of the Zellwood Pub and owners of Windy Hill Ranch are both dear friends of ours, and the cause is certainly a worthy one, and we hope you will come out and support the event. Advance tickets are $10/person and at the door $15/person. For more information, tickets, or entry registration, please email SRSCatering@aol.com or phone 407-509-4744.

The second show is the 9th Annual APOPKA FAIR CAR SHOW and will be held March 14 & 15 at Kit Land Nelson Park in Apopka, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Primary sponsor of this event is the Rotary Club of Apopka. Registration begins both days at 8:30, and, as always, is FREE. It is an Antique, Classic, Special Interest show with dash plaques, great door prizes, and 5 People's Choice Awards each day with participant and spectator voting. Some of the door prizes include 8 tire clocks with really neat wheels and a wrench and screw driver as hands. In addition to the car show, there is a giant midway, live entertainment, crafters, and a number of food vendors. Something new this year is a Club Participation Award on SUNDAY ONLY, with a minimum of 5 cars attending. Of course, the tree filled park is one of the most beautiful venues for a car show in the area. We welcome you to attend one day, or both, as your schedule permits. I will continue to keep you updated as we get closer to each of these events and look forward to seeing you at one or both of them. As always, if you have any questions, or would like to make a comment, please contact me at my email address, luvr56@aol.com, or call me at 407-886-5844. Thanks for your past support of the Rotary sponsored APOPKA FAIR. Take care. Lowell
