We've been working with the City of Norfolk trying to get more room for this event. Looks like we may be allowed to use the large grassy area behind the flag poles this year and keep the cars more in one area and have more spots available.

Right now it looks like we'd have to move it to April 12 or 13 this year.

We'll try to get details worked out this month and post them.

It would be nice to be in April, I might be able to come back for it. The snow in mountains is too tricky in March.

Thanks Rick we hope to tie up a few details in the next couple of weeks with the City. Trying to get the cars together and more spots to expand to more cars. We've sold out at 125 for the last 3 years.

Been kinda working on a Friday night event like a concert or something, maybe a local band, just trying to make it more of a weekend event.

We have the "go-ahead" from Steve at Waterside and will communicate with the folks from Relay for Life this coming week. The paperwork goes into the City of Norfolk on Tuesday and then all we have to do is wait for their approval. The April 12 date is looking Good!

We'll post more when we have official approval!
