We had an awesome staff of volunteers to pitch in and help with all the necessary duties required to host this event. Our staff of volunteers promoted the event, made and passed outfliers, coordinated media coverage, wrote articles, helped procure sponsors, prepared the facility, sold and took up tickets, greeted, coordinated the opening ceremony, manned the entry gates, attended the kids amusements, coordinated hospitality, sold programs, assisted the bands, prepared and served lunch for the legends, parked cars, assisted the handicapped, emptied the trash cans, and cleaned up the aftermath! This was a great team effort headed up by the Team SC Midlands RacersReunion Chapter. It was touching to see entire families...husbands, wives, children, and grandchildren working together as part of this team. There were three generations each of Smiths and Wilsons...amazing!
The city of Cayce, SC was, once again, very supportive and provided security, traffic control, and color guards for the opening ceremony. Thanks to Mayor Elise Partin for attending and speaking at our opening ceremony and for her continued support.
I think we made all our guests and attendees feel special and within a couple of hours after the event was over, the facility was ready for the next event.
Our sponsors for the 4th Annual Love Chevrolet RacersReunion and Auto Fest were Love Chevrolet (Love Automotive), NAPA Auto Parts, Maurice's Piggie Park BBQ, WRH Realty, and Lizard's Thicket. We could not have held the event without them. Please remember their contributions when you make your future purchase decisions.
Thanks to Maurice's Piggie Park BBQ for hosting our Cruise-in and to the Cayce Police department for the escort to and from. The escort allowed "non-street-legal" cars to participate in the cruise-in. All who attended were treated to a healthy dose of Carolina Beach Music by Sweet Daddy J and ShagCityUSA.com.
Funflcks Outdoor Movies provided and impressive drive-in movie set-up for our Friday night showing of Thunder in Carolina. Seeing that giant 40' movie screen and the quality it presented was impressive! Love Chevy provided free popcorn and our first drive-in movie at Historic Columbia Speedway was a huge success.
Many thanks to all the folks at Lexington Hobby and all who brought their remote control cars for the exhibition. I want one!
Ken Oswald and the gang at Automotive Tekniques in West Columbia, SC handled the Auto-Fest and car show. The display was stunning.
Thanks to the Food Truck Rodeo folks for providing a variety of great food...the sausage stuffed wings were my favorite. Yep, that's what I said.
Finally, many thanks go to the drivers and their families, those who brought their race cars for display, and all the fans who came out and supported the event.
The weather was perfect and there seemed to spread quickly among the attendees of our event an outbreak of"perma-grin". RacersReunion is very grateful to have so much support from so many.
Thank You!!!
