Autumn In The Mountains Car Show

Yesterday was our big event for the British Car Club, our annual Autumn In The Mountains car show.  It is the last big event for me for a busy September.  I am president of this club, so the workload for me was increased this year.  Our car is the one on the right, a TVR.  The tents behind are the Silent Auction.

It was the worst weather for a car show, drizzle and rain all day.

We started off pretty slow, but did manage to get a fair number of cars to see before the day ended.

Two of our club members own DeLoreans.

More cars showed up later in the morning, a couple of intrepid souls came in from Tennessee.

The drizzly rain continued, and everything was wet by midmorning. We had some later entrants with some really neat things to see.

It was hard to bid on any items in the Silent Auction because all the bid pages were wet. But we did manage to get a some money raised for Meals on Wheels. All those tents had items for sale or bid.

I was happy to end the day early, hand out awards, help clean up and get home.  The good news with this rain is it should help keep the leaves on the trees so the fall color will be nice.  I’ll show you some of that soon, our area peaks in mid-October.
