This show had a large raffle, 50/50 drawing, vendors, food and games for the kids. One of the things that Larry and I like to do is get raffle tickets together so we get more for our money. But today was even better because we know a guy that goes to most of the shows and he likes to collect a few dollars from about 15 to 20 people which ends up getting us about twice the amount of tickets for the same amount of money. That's the good news but for some reason the people running the drawing that day got the raffle and 50/50 tickets mixed up so we were told to take ours and trade them in for the other type of tickets. One thing leads to another and the next thing you know there were a whole lot of people mad at the whole thing. All I know is that we got our tickets exchanged but the unlucky people that bought 50/50 tickets had big problems because now they didn't know how much money should be in it. 

The turn out for this show was pretty good but came in just shy of last years and again there were other shows going on around the area which might have been the reason.

I did something different for this show this year, I didn't register my car. The reason is because I've won an award here for the past four years and I thought I'd just come out and be a spectator this time. Now I don't know anyone doing the judging or running the show, I just didn't like the thought of winning that many times in a row. To me this sounded like a good idea but one person didn't like it to much and he let me know about it.

I happen to be standing near by when one of the judges walked around my car and Larry looked at me and said, "are you going to tell him?" I walked over and explained to the judge what was going on and he understood. While talking to this judge for a minute, the head guy from the Kiwanis Club came by and told me to leave if I'm not going to enter my car. I told him 'no problem that I'd be leaving in a few minutes' but I was wondering why the whole time.

Once this guy had left, the judge said to me, "that was BS" and told me to stay here that he'd be right back with an entry form for me to fill out. I told him not to worry about it because I didn't want him to pay for me and he said again not to worry that all he wanted from me was to fill out an entry form. Once I had the form filled out, he said that he'd drop off my packet to me and if I wasn't at my car, he'd leave inside it.

Larry and I walked around for awhile and when we got back to our cars, sure enough my entry was on the floor and my packet was on my seat. Now I didn't expect anything other than my entry but this judge went the extra mile and included everything I would have received if I had paid to enter. The packet included a meal ticket for lunch, a ticket to get into the Cherry Festival and a T-shirt.

Later on I saw that same judge again and thanked him for all that he'd done for me. And I also paid him for the T-shirt because I didn't want any money coming out of his pocket. What a nice guy and I didn't even find out his name.
 

Let's check out the show because I took a lot of pictures.
 

I've never seen this car before and it's always nice to see new stuff.
 

Woflman Jack was on the back of the car which brought back some memories because I remember listening to the Woflman back in the late 60's and early 70's. And he did most of his broadcasting from Mexico. The reason he broadcasted from south of the boarder was because there were almost no limitations on the amount of watts they could use which would enable him to reach a larger audience. Do you remember the name of the call letters that he used back when your only option was AM radio?
