Awesome Dave. I already spoke to Michelle about going and she was really interested. I am assuming this is open to the public? Can you provide me with some details about getting in?

Terrific! Kerrie is not into cars and doesn't want to go. Mike Labrecque who owns Labrecque Autocraft is going with me.

Hope to see you there.

It's gotta be a show for big dogs if it costs $150 just to be in it!

LOL.

Yep, and it's mostly just the owners and sponsors paying.

Quote:
Next Sunday’s show is free to the public, one of the ground rules for using the public park. You can expect 20,000 spectators to wander through the Common during the five-hour program. “It’s almost like an art exhibit,” says Doucette. “It’s both calming and inspiring.”

The cars are behind the same steel fencing that’s used along the Boston Marathon course—a coincidence that doesn’t escape Doucette. “We want to make this an international event,” he says, “along the lines of both the Marathon and the July 4 fireworks.

“Two things differentiate us. We’re a low impact event. We start setting up at 7 a.m. and by 3 p.m. the objective is to have Boston Common looking like nothing had happened on the show day. Another is that we don’t interrupt normal city life.”

The only folks inside the barriers are car owners, show sponsors, and those who want to pony up $75 for a VIP ticket or $50 for inside access.

“We’re not pushing those tickets,” says Doucette. “Those are for the few who have the need or desire to be inside.

“Our business model is different from a show that is dependent on admission fees. Our funding comes from solid sponsors and the money is there for us. It costs $100,000 to put on the show and we donate $25,000 to the city.
Most of the money is probably coming from sponsors though. Only 100 cars invited x $150 per car = $15,000. Another $10,000 is needed just for the donation to the city.

Show cars arriving on enclosed trailers:

……….please plan on arriving between 6:00 am and 6:30 am on Sunday morning.
Crud. This means I have to leave West Granby by 4:00 am to make it to Boston by around 6:15 am.

I'm going to need a lot of coffee on the way.

Hey Frank....I guess I'm used to it now. I still suck at backing up though. LOL.
