I think I have a phobia with regards to feather dusters!!!!!

And probably to polish and wax also!

In 1985, Ed Carroll, who owned the VETTE SET BODY SHOP in Orange, California and I started the CALIFORNIA GOLD Show in PALM SPRINGS. It lasted 3 years with good success . The Western States Corvette Council Corvette Clubs supported the event as well as major vendors. We had the swap meet, and ''judged show'', and even a special collection of cars at a hotel ballroom Saturday evening.

ZORA and ELFIE were special guests as well as other noted Corvette people.

The name changed to CALIFORNIA LEGENDS due to a heavy discussion with David Burroughs. Discussion about a Western ''GOLD'' event never was realized as distance was too great for David and mid west organizers.


PALM SPRINGS got greedy and costs forced the event to move to Ventura in 1988. After two unsuccessful years, we shut it down.

The cost today to do an event is very high compared to those days in the 80's. LOOK at the recent HOT AUGUST NIGHTS problems, that have been resolved.

I have supported BG for many years, and this year will return to INDY. The venue is very good for this show. The CELEBRATION OF 50 YEARS , this year highlighting 1966 Corvettes will have 24 of the most unique 1966 models in the world. GREAT emphasis on education of the history of the car is coming full circle. PLEASE come and enjoy the weekend.

Bloomington Gold at Indy is good event but still in the learning stages for the new venue.
Lets hope the management if Indy does not start raising the costs like it did for the Goodguys who left after just a few years. $$$$$$$
