Event Report
We had a very good turn out considering that it rained a lot off and on. We had good burger sales which is a measure of the public attendance. We did good outreach and had a chance between showers to take photos and send them to the owners email. We then ask them if they wanted to be invited by email to our next EV shows.
I want to thank Virginia Winslow for the idea of the photos to document the cars and owners and as a give back of the photosto this same owners for their attendance.
Great to have the nDEW web pages for teaching others how to do a great WV show. Keep up the great work and thanks to Tom S for how care in web management and the City Capt.
