The 2010 Motorkars Memorial Day car show fundraiser was a success even though mother nature tried to disrupt the event.  The morning thunderstorms raised doubts as to whether anyone would come out for the show.   The show went on as planned, but there were only a few cars present at the 10am start.  The morning thunderstorm stopped by 11am and the show cars began to roll in.  By early afternoon there were 42 air cooled vehicles registered. There were also a group of 10 plus scooters and motorcycles on display. 

There was an exceptional collection of Beetles, Busses, Ghia's, Thing's, trucks and vintage Porsche's present.  The oldest car was a black 1956 sunroof Beetle owned by Andy Livingston.  The lowest mileage car, with only 4000 miles, was the 1977 "Green Apple" Standard Beetle owned by Steve and Mona Savko. 

Founding COVVC club member Stark Hughes won the best of show award with his beautiful 1966 Westy Camper.  Kevin and Kosby Carrico won the people's choice award with their 1976 camper.  Kevin later had said, he thinks the neighborhood kids he brought along, may have stuffed the ballot box, giving them the win. Greg Gilliam won the best sixties costume award.  And Nathan Brame won the gift certificate to Dairy Queen by guessing all twelve parts used to build Otto, the Motorkars company mascot.  The kids were awarded toys for their efforts painting the Motorkars Recycle Bus.

COVVC club members, Bill Lewandowski and Teresa Schleifer provided wonderful live music throughout the day.  Dan Dial provided superlative harp backup for Bill's blues. Jason Davis, regional manager for Sierra Nevada Brewing, provided Der Bierwagen full of beer for the event.  A special thanks to Jack Rogers for his bubble head figure and to Randy Smith for his photography.

The fundraiser event owes its success to the support and efforts of the entire Motorkars staff.  Including Jim, Jeff, Betty, and Jody Young, Amanda Byrnes, Matt and Angie Markowicz, Shawn Waddell, Dave Force, James Koziuk, Chris Cornetet, and Shirley Brockmeyer.

Although we did have a 15 minute downpour in the afternoon, everyone made the best of it and continued making donations to the Kids 'n Kamp charity.  The fundraiser generated just shy of the goal of $1,000 for the day.

Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a really fun show.
