LSF MidLife Crisis Truck & Car Show - 8/28 NJ

[Lars-S]

Last year as outside Covid restrictions eased up LSF held its first show. This was done in part to help get people out and about now that we could be.

We are having a 2nd annual Classic Cars Trucks/4x4 Show this year. It will be on Sat Aug 28 with rain date of 29th. Vehicles should be 1980 or earlier. There is no fee to participate. It is held on grass. Space is limited so reserving a spot is requested. Donations and or food sales will go towards free public ice rink for residents and the foundations 10th annual Winternights Viking Festival. Proceeds from that then go to the Northern NJ Veterans Cemetery.

Just a heads up more info to follow
PS Posted here instead of under Show forum as this isn't a just IH show .. last years, our first, was more of a 'no shows' lol

Here is a link to the foundation's page for it. It also is on Whofish and will be on the foundations FB page as well.. Yes LFS is a legitimate 501(c)3.

Need to make flyers for show.. It is the 2nd and could be an annual though it is almost a month later than last year's Covid driven one.
We found out with our 1st show that holding one isn't easy from the stand point of venue versus allowed entrants/participants versus too many or not enough vehicles.. or none?

We have to submit our permit application either tomorrow or Tuesday..

To keep with our light hearted approach to holding events so all enjoy themselves we thought this show will be:

"Midlife Crisis Truck & Car Show"
Got a vehicle that's 40 or older (pre - 1981)
SHOW IT!

Any feedback or ideas are welcome.. Safe Journey.

Just got back from Planning & Zoning.. Application submitted and should be fine, basically same setup as last year with lanes etc.

Here is the 2021 official poster that will be distributed.. There is a simpler one that goes on some websites due to size restrictions (mb)

Received approval of our permit application yesterday from the town so it is a definite 'Go'. Have been doing some work on the grounds in preparation for it and our WNF in October.

Sadly no IH's. Weather this past week prevented getting mine done enough to bring it to event.. The L&S Foundation would like to say:

Thank you to those that participated and/or attended todays car show.. Any precipitation in area held off and we were left with a very comfortable day despite the high humidity. Any shortfall in numbers was made up for with the quality of vehicles on display (over 302 yrs worth) along with the quality of people that brought them. We took video and pictures along with others and will post them on the LFS site and FB site next week.

We heard some interesting stories and learned some techniques and mods that truly were very clever and inspirational..

Thanks again to All … we’ll tally donations including from the Nordic House (1/2 of days sales) Monday..

Saw some really neat tricks / adaptions done by owners to aide cooling their engines (engine compartments). Also met someone that does restoration work all by hand no fancy machines etc basically a Fitzee type .. does it all ... oh and while no Scouts or other IH vehicles one of the cars was a 102 yr old Willys!
