Evolution of Wheels IV

- Graham from the Museum met with us to discuss latest details about this year’s show.

- The museum is looking at celebrating the 100th anniversary of Buick, so owners of classic Buicks are encouraged to participate.

- It was suggested that we give the Buicks “feature car” status by parking up on the ridge.

- Some other details of the show include:

        Busker show - “Cow” guys

        Driveway shutdown

        Warehouse tour

        OPP participation (?)

        New cafeteria

        Restoration volunteer work

        On-site sanitation

        Show featured via possible hyperlink on Museum website


- Tim made an excellent suggestion to have the most popular car appear on next year’s trophy instead of our current logo.

- Trophy classes remain the same with participant’s choice/no classes/ Top 10/ People’s Choice
