Payne Chevrolet had their annual Camaro Homecoming to coincide with the grand re-opening of their newly expanded/renovated showroom & service bay areas. It was a great turnout especially since it was competing with the Somernights Fbody event in Somerset, KY. It was a pretty hot day but the large overhang of the showroom was a great shady place to set up chairs and the showroom was there to retreat to if you still got too hot. The local credit union was there giving away $25 gift cards every hour and a radio station was letting folks register to win tickets to the Brothers of the Sun Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw Concert at LP Field (Titans stadium) as well as letting folks roll huge dice to win various CD's. Payne was providing free (yummy) hamburgers, chips & ice water. There were a couple of out local car collectors there with their Camaro collections one including a 5th Gen convertable and 3 classic Camaros & the other with his ZL1 & 3 classic Camaros. The ZL1 was nice but I must say I felt sorry for it. It is the extreme garage queen. No plastic her been removed from the interior & some say it has never even been fired up since delivery. It was trailored in. Several of our club members also graced the event with their presence and their very nice Camaros. The event ended with the drawing for the concert tickets and sadly none of us won..............but......................one of the winners walked up to where we were standing & asked if anyone wanted his tickets. All of us raised our hands & he handed them to me! Then there was a lady from the Credit union who had a small die cast RJT Camaro on her display 1/20 scale). I asked her about it & she said she got it at the local Dollar General store for $10. I planned to visit every Dollar store in town & other towns to try to find one as I don't have one that scale. At the end of the day, she walked over & gave hers to me! Here is a pic of me ready to go to the concert with my treasures from the day. along with some individual pics of some of the nice Camaros at the show.
