This is a beautiful function for people and its town. Very, very nice cars! But, I think it is no different than any other show when it comes to awarding. Horrible. Why, you say! The voting is ignorant and not fare. Its setup from the beginning for individuals that have participants for previous years. Its a bad set up for new comers to the show, resulting in a why want to come back to show feeling for them. Its a vote for me and I will vote for you show(BOGUST). This great for the ones that come very year or the ones that knows each other. This shows has alot of volunteer’s to help run the show and is very organized which is awsome in many ways. So, why doesnt the show create Judges and let them be honest judge’s. This would be fair to all vehicle owner’s. It’s Just not a fair show and we first didnt understand why some participant’s rejected wanting to vote because of this problem and stated it before 2013 voting. Bless all that attended and all were achievers..
