Cavalcade Set Up... Friday

[Bill Burkholder]

To all car owners , PLEASE have your car at the Grange BEFORE 10 PM on Friday night. We need to have everything done so that on Saturday all we have to do is uncover the cars and turn the lights on. I will be at the Grange around 1 PM and the set up crew will be marking the location for the cars at that time. If all goes perfect we could be spotting cars by 3 PM. Also remember that your car needs to be uncovered by 9 AM on Saturday and Sunday. If your car is covered and you do no wish to allow club members to uncover your car please, be on time so we can be ready for our guests..

There will be NO smoking in the buildings, butt cans will be placed at the 4 doors. Please use them if you smoke.

Security will be provided by club members and the Newtown Police Dept. (over night).

I'd like to thank everyone connected with the Cavalcade for your help and time donated so far.... All we need now is some sun !!!!!

Remember the last Cavalcade workers meeting at the VFW on Wednesday night at 8PM. Last chance to purchase your Cavalcade shirt at pre show prices... this is a beautiful shirt.... BILL

Sat, Jun 07: Scattered T-Storms 77°/60°, 30 % chance of precip

Of the 6 Cavalcades that I have been a part of, last year on Sunday was the best time that I ever had.... YES it rained ...But I spent the afternoon laughing and hanging out with FRIENDS !!! I DON'T CARE IF IT RAINS, I will still be there with a smile and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rick and Arleen Ball]

DITTO Bill! :D

[STEVEN LONG]

<<I DON'T CARE IF IT RAINS>>

... but, because of the rain ... wasn't last year a break even (more or less ... vs. making a decent profit)? Sunday was literally a wash-out!

[Bill Burkholder]

Steve... I have no control over the weather and I'm looking at it as a half full glass not a half empty glass... :D If it rains then I'll still have a great day and spend it with club members....If it's sunny then I'll still have a great day to spend with club members.....but I do wish that it could be a sunny, 80* day. :)

[STEVEN LONG]

Sorry Bill ... I misunderstood what you were saying. You made Lemonade out of Lemons! NOW I understand! Must be too much moisture in the clouds! ;)

[MacBear]

Forcast now says isolated t-storms for Sat. and Sunday.
Maybe they will isolate somewhere else. :D

:mad: Now I just have to get the windshield wippers to work!

[Bill Burkholder]

don't worry about those wipers you won't need them this weekend!!!! :cool:

[Joel Fellman]

or try some RAINX on your windshield.

[Mike Campbell]

By the way guys, "isolated thunderstorms" is supposed to mean 0 to 15% chance of rain. "Scattered thunderstorms" is 15 to 30% chance of rain. If that's all we get with a little sun peeking out from the clouds now and then, guess what, it'll be great!! ;yn And I totally agree with Bill. ;yn We still have a great time with all our Vette Buddies, regardless of the weather!! ;bt;bt I know we want to raise money, but, if we even break even it's a success. I hate this stinky weather as much as anyone, but, I refuse to be a "crepe hanger"!! Let's do it guys!!! ;gab

[MacBear]

Thanks for the info Joel.

Is 30% rain less wet than 100% rain??? :confused:

[STEVEN LONG]

<<Is 30% rain less wet than 100% rain???>>

---Yes ... assuming you get your car in on Friday ... and take it out on Sunday!

[Mike Campbell]

Yep, and you only get hit by one out of every three raindrops, so, you only get a third as wet.... ;tt
