Pavilions car show moves to evenings this Saturday. Anyone game?

The show starts the Fall season this Saturday from 4-8pm. I'm thinking of going with my Porsche 912, my friend with his 57 Corvette also. The Z will have to wait. 😝. I do the early shift, probably 4-5:30.

Re: Pavillions Car Show, No More?

We'll return to Strawberry for the summer, barring another fire. The show was enjoyable and it wasn't all that hot (to me). Everybody bring shade and water. You can DO this! Randy, Nice pic on the home page, but I have to say I like your new wheels on the Roadster. Are you going to follow through an...
