We have been putting this shop in for a few years now... It gets bigger every year!
My wife and I own a lumber yard in Ingersoll Ontario, and we do one 'late' season show - perhaps some of you have heard of it or been to it...
this year it will be Sept 9th, 10 - 4...
Our business is always closed on Sundays, so we fill the parking lot (at leat 150 cars) then we overflow onto the street. We have support from the neighbours, the town, local merchants, and a lot of our business partners/vendors.
The show is entirely not-for-profit. We support local special olympics, and other non-profit/community groups with all the money raised - not just the proceeds...
silent auction, 50/50 draws, and awards...
ask anyone who has been - it is a blast!
call 519-485-5111 (closer to the date) to register....
i will try to add some pictures when I get the cance....

The annual car show still lives!... we had our 9th annual show this past September, it was held on the 8th. we 'start' the show at 10, but this year, the parking lost was full by 9:20!!!
i have only a few pictures, as the wonderfull individuals that were supposed to be taking pictures for us did not show / or did not send them in!
included are the award winners for the day... we were able to donate a little better than 14,000.00 to local charities as a result of the show this year!! the split on 50/50 was over $1,000!!
next year will be our 10th annual show....
you can see a bunch more shots at our store facebook, or at my facebook page...
This year was funny! I had one purist come up to me - quite upset that the lot was full...
He didn't introduce himself, he just said:"you've got a serious problem here"....
He went on to tell me that we do not organize the show, or the cars properly.
"Me very major car show has a cut off date.... Nothing newer than xx"(I forget exactly what # he said)
I thought fora second, then said... "You think we have a major car show? Thanks!!!"
- I shook his hand, and walked away... :)
I was so glad the challenger won after his comments!
