2nd Annual Gathering of the Buicks. Hope you can come!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm not helping organize this, but I am helping promote it. I have talked with Randall Crain in Sophia, NC a couple of times now via phone and he has invited any/all Buick lovers to this event. He is a respected Buick man in the ROA. I did speak with a couple of others who attended last year and they were thrilled with the turn out for a first year event. Well over 50 Buicks made the trip with one coming all the way from Texas (no doubt the long distance award). The local Buick dealer will be displaying some new models. Plenty of room for vendors of new or used Buick parts and with the same addmission price of a single car entry. Cars will be grouped via model (assuming there are several of each). Room for 600 cars. Well organized show with trophies available. Bring any Buick. From the early 1900's to today's models. Want to display a race car, Bring it. I know you folks up north have good luck with your get-togethers, and I hope this one builds each year also. I know, it's hard to make trips for a 1 day event, but how many Buick events are there? We are a tight group so I hope some of you will join us.
Below is some more detailed info. I will also post motel info. soon. There is a discount on rooms for all Buick attendants.
