It's still early and I haven't gotten all the things planned out yet but it will happen and in the coming months. I put on a small show last year for a fund raiser. It went okay but I want to do better this year so we will be having this one up in the mountains on our place.
Wanna camp? Bring your stuff. Do it on our place or do it at the local state park which is one of the most visited parks in TN.
Or stay here in Johnson City at the motels listed below.
Want cool mountain roads? Plenty of them around and I hope to have a whole line of Buicks on one of them.
Got the local fire dept coming up to cook a big ole HOG on the fire! They do this several times per year for a fundraiser and will do it at our place for this show to help make money.
Gonna rent a stage from the local town for music. What kind? Not sure yet but tunes of some kind.
Dry county so BYOB just don't get out of hand since there will be children there too.
Wanna work on the car? Come early and use my shop. Got almost anything you need along with a rack. Not offering this to just anyone but you Buick owners are welcome. I have a friend that's a trained mechanic that has agreed to come up and work if needed. He will be cheaper than any shop you probably use. Also got another friend that owns a custom stereo/tint and graphic shop that will work with us if anyone needs anything while you're here.
Wanna run a 1/4 mile? I will have this on one of the same days Bristol is having their street fights so several of us can go down and watch or run. Might even have cone races in the parking lot if we are lucky.
I will PM a few of you I have met and expect action!
Right now it looks like late May. As things shape up I will update. A local car club throws one of these mountain shows each year and gets over 500 vehicles. I don't expect anything like that since it's the first year but with much help I hope to get many people.
Here's a few websites:
This is our farm website. Actual address of the shop is 1030 Green Creek road in Bakersville, NC 28705.
www.roanvalleytrees.com
Our property joins this mountain. Beautiful views and if I do this in June rhododendron may be in full bloom. That's when we get our visitors up there. The TN/NC state line is on top of the Roan.

Here's a link to the drag's schedule. Very fun event and hundreds of cars running. Times are from 19-10 secs and cars of all sorts.

Here's the local state park. It's just a jump over the mountain on the TN side. Beautiful place.

Here's a listing for motels in the city I live in here in TN. Plan on meeting early and driving a convoy over the hills and through the woods to the farm. Did I say we need Buicks?

Here's a couple shots from where we will have the car show. Right next to 3 large fish ponds. It will not be this cold when we have the show I promise.

Also got the Saturday night car cruise in historic Elizabethton, TN. Up to 300 cars can show up on good nights. Below is a pic of downtown where we outline the road with customs and classics.

Enough with the sales pitch. I will be working on this over the coming weeks and will update. We need you there if you are close enough to come. I would love to see a good representation of Buicks there! That has never happened in this area before.
