I know lots of guys in the Lightning community of whom I know wouldn't mind spreading the word and help out. One of the guys does graphic design for a living, and I'm sure he could make us a SICK flyer/poster come time.

Some of his work...

Wow, those look good! If we are going to do something, we need to get moving on it because it's almost November already! Securing a location/date, sponsors and then advertising it so people show up! lol.

I figured it's too late this year to do something, unless we try to do a spring show instead of a fall show...

Definitely need to scout some venue locations though, ones that can handle a good amount of people, and aren't straight cramped, like Cars & Coffee....

I wonder if Jerry "Give Me Your Money" Jones would allow the use of one of the Cowboys parking lots for this....:lol:

im down to do something and yes on our own too. dont need jared's help

agreed it is prolly too late for a cars for toys or w/e show this year but would not be a bad idea to get planning for a spring show then a late fall show. Having a show twice a year would be nice.

If we are going to involve my FOP it would have to be in Richardson but if we cant do Richardson its no big deal. Breckenridge Park has many different parking lots and most of which are good size. I'm sure I could talk to the Parks department and see if we could reserve a lot for a day. If not there are a TON of business parking lots in Richardson and I'm willing to bet one would be willing to let us use the parking lot in turn for using the business as part of the advertisement.

I am sorry but the fact I have the same FIRST name as Jared of dipshit fame from Ricekillers is gross! He is the biggest tool on 2 feet!

I am getting with the owner of delaney's here in McKinney about a kind of cars & coffee kind of thing but with a lot more fun. There is a crap load of insane cars up here. They have a great breakfast and brunch and the specials we are thinking about would be great for the whole family. Plus I have a good friend in the sheriffs office and fire dept. Plus being a member of the Chamber of Commerce here in McKinney is huge!

Thoughts?

You talking about the pub with the bartender that has tiggobitties?
I like that place.

Yeah she is a friend. Jamon her meaness is just as big!!!!:mfr_omg:

And only you would know that.

Jerry Jones is a big supporter of Toys for Tots. Would probably be worth an email, to be honest.

Awesome guys, too bad I'm not close by to give a helping hand. Let me know if you guys need anything on this end.

It might be. Once we start settling in on ideas, dates, etc, we can move forward with contacting people for venues.

A few door prize options or awards prizes probably wouldn't hurt.

Yeah,..........Jerry Jones........ let me think........He can't even own a good football team! Why in the name of Zuss's BUTTHOLE would you ever want his nasty ass anywhere close?

:lewx4:

In my opinion, not taking advantage of Ryan's resources would be a shame. Having the ability to have the city on our side for a function would not only make it legal in everyway, but also lend the support we need to attract the right type of people to the event in the first place. Permission to use the park from the city, permits and having them attend in someway would go a long way with the public. We aren't a bunch of street racing punks causing chaos, but rather having a family oriented car show with other car people and the support of the police department to help some kids!



Trying to do anything with the Dallas Cowboys would be a waste of time, I think. They have companies all over the world constantly contacting them for charity events. I'm sure there would be a ton of red tape and our request would fall on some deaf ears for a first year car show.
