Glad to hear you're planning to attend this year, too! You're right, it was in Austintown last year, but we've made the agreement to trade off the location every year. Sometimes closer to their home "turf" (like last year) and then closer to ours (like this year). We'll do the same thing with the charities as well. Last year we had about 243 cars combined. The Stangs beat us by about 10 cars, but the Camaros took home the trophies! Either way you look at it, the Make-A-Wish program ('08 charity) was the real winner - donations were in the $2k range I think. All in all, not bad for a first year show!
As for the cause this year - ACBC is a great program! The NEOCC has been involved with them for several years now and there's never a dry eye when the proceeds from anything we do for them are given to them! NO amount of money - or aluminum cans - donated is ever too small! Hartville Market Place has food and shopping (inside as well as an outdoor flea-market for which they are well known) and are happy to have this show there!
