Default 1st Time Entering Car Show

We had a local show here in Benbrook Texas for a Charity event. My daughter and I enter our 2001 Convertible and won Best In Class. There were about 50 or so cars entered. About 10 or so different years of Corvettes were there. Along with various hot rods, trucks and the usual turnouts...Here are some pictures of our car and a few others...

Congrats! I almost entered my 1st yesterday also at a local nursing home just to add cars. But, just could not make myself sit around for 6 hours and deal with the crowd. Sigh! But they did get a few dozen in there so felt better about not going.
