Greetings Everyone! Usually I re-write event information for folks on our mailing list, HOWEVER… Emalene says it all, with humor mixed in.. So, Here is a little more than all the information you might need for the.. 12th Annual Carmel Mountain Car/Truck/Bike Show Actually, held on a very beautiful Golf Course ! Small Town Hospitality at its absolute FINEST! Read on, and by all means.. Come join us! JC From: Emalene Lake <carmelmtncarshow@gmail.com> Subject: Carmel Mountain Car Show is only DAYS AWAY!!! This email is going out to EVERYONE!! ALL SPECIAL GUESTS, PRE REGISTERED CARS, VENDORS AND FOOD TRUCKS!! So, if something in here doesn't pertain to you then don't worry about it. We are getting closer to SHOW TIME, only DAYS away!! Are you as stoked as I am ?? 😆 Some may have been coming to this show for the entire 12+ years that it has been happening. And for some this may be your first time! I'm so glad you chose to participate in our show either way!! This is the 2nd year for me and my amazing volunteers and voluntolds putting on the show!! For two years previous, we handled only the raffle table to raise money to build a Veterans Monument for the Long Valley area. (It is on the front lawn of the Orderville Town Office at the North end of Orderville, for those traveling back up 89, stop a minute and check it out. It is amazing, but I may be biased.) After that task was completed, Ed was delighted for someone else to take over the show so he didn't have to stress about it and could actually enjoy going to it! The raffle money now goes to the local Valley High School Shop Class so they can buy equipment, tools and whatever other items they need. These amazing kids have built the trophies for last year and this year's show!! We have some great raffle prizes to try and get your dollars so that we can give them right back to the kids. If that isn't a tug on the heart strings to get you to buy tickets I don't know what else is. 😏 This is the first year implementing the Car pre registration form and all the feedback I can get on it helps me make things better for the coming years. For those of you who are vendors, how did you like the online form?? This is the second year using it, any things that should be added/changed? Attached you will find the Itinerary for this year's show. i.e. times for set up, registration, contests, you get the idea. Now if this is your first year at this show or you don't remember last year, then here are how things work: FRIDAY WELCOME PARTY, 3 to 7pm is completely held Mt. Carmel on the Event show grounds.. NOT KANAB like previous years! (Don’t get me started on that subject) Food Trucks, Music, Food Friends.. WITH Special Friday Awards and dash plaques ! SORRY, Because of a few INCONSIDERATE pet owners.. NO DOGS ALLOWED, except registered service animals! Property is posted and they insist we enforce their rule. Tell your friends and neighbors that want to attend to leave fido or Feefee home. Yes, I know spectators brought some big dogs and little dogs last year and I had to inform them that they couldn't have them there. The property already has signs and this year I am making giant signs. I don't like being a jerk but if I have to I will. Save me the aggravation and inform your friends and family that even though it is an outdoor event, no one likes to step in poop. We have a local photographer this year to get pictures, since we are all too busy!! Stacy Cox will be taking pictures both Friday and Saturday. So comb your hair, brush your teeth, put on your best overalls and SMILE!! JC Hackett, Registration and the Raffle tables will be directly off the pavement by the hotel, under the trees. Volunteers are also habitating in and around this area if you need help. There will be golf cart shuttles running back and forth from the public parking, on the top of the golf course, to the show. We will have the VHS Sophomore Class shuttling so if you want to tip them for the easy trip then please go for it!! This is a class fundraiser for them to have money for their Senior trip. Please refrain from grabbing a golf cart of your own, we need all that Ed & Jason will allow for shuttling. DO NOT let your children/friends/family of any age get in a golf cart. Last year we had an incident where kids took my cart at the raffle table that I use and were ramping it off the end of the course trying to roll it. Ed was hysterical, Jason was livid, and threatened to lock all of them up right then. Having someone wreck one of those carts, hit or Damage a show car would end this show immediately and forever. Please don't be a dumbass, don't let your friends be a dumbass, don't let your kids be a dumbass and ruin this event for everyone! PRE REGISTERED CARS Attached is an aerial map of where things will be set up on the golf course for the Car Show on Saturday September 23rd. Friday night Party on the Green 4pm-7pm is going to be whoever wants to show up and you can park the same way as you will on Saturday. The parking and registration for Friday will begin at 3:30pm. The Registration & Show Car parking will happen from 8-8:45 am Saturday, Show starts at 9am so we want everyone in their places and not running over spectators. (Although...there may be a few people I wouldn't mind having a convenient accident). Anywho..The registration table is right off the pavement and the raffle ticket buying table is just to the side (hint hint). There will be two lines one for pre registered (YOU) and one for the slackers that didn't. You will need to pay your $10 entry fee PER CAR that you are entering. Come on, it is $10 lousy dollars, you aren't going to break the piggy bank over that even if you bring 5 cars! There will be volunteers (emphasis on they are not getting paid to help out with this 2 day event) who are wearing bright yellow shirts, can't miss them, that say "You must be exhausted from watching me do everything". If you need anything, find one of them and they will be able to help or lie that they can. They will be helping direct show cars, vendors, public parking, selling raffle tickets and doing registration. Car Show Volunteers: Will show up 7:30ish am (keyword volunteered to help out so treat them with the utmost respect). Volunteers will be wearing bright yellow shirts that on the back say, "You must be exhausted from watching me do everything". If you have questions or need help please find one of us wearing these shirts. Most of us won't bite and might actually be helpful. Special/Celebrity Guests: Set up 7:30-8:45am will be on the green parallel to Hwy 89, the furthermost area. Show cars are also parked along that side but we have the Guests at the top. Refer to the attached map for visuals. Fire Dept/EMS if you bring heavy trucks you will park right off the pavement at the top so you have quick and easy access to get out in case you need to respond to a call. If you are going to attend the Friday Night Party on the Green you can set up in the same specified location. If you are only there for the Saturday Car Show then you will set up in the above mentioned area. Also I will need all Special/Celebrity Guests to complete a form with your contact info and get it back to me. I am working on an online form to make everyone's life easier so look for it in your emails or a link text to you. If that doesn't happen you will get a paper handed to you at the show. This is because of the State of Utah Special Events Division cracking down on how this show runs. It is purely for information. Vendors: Saturday morning You will set up off the south side of the pavement down the green. You can begin to set up at 7:30am, someone should be there anyway, and you will have until 8:45 to have your booth ready. Refer to the map for visuals. You can drive onto the green to unload your tents, tables, chairs, wares. Then get off the green and park in the public parking area that is at the top of the golf course. There will be signs directing and golf cart shuttles running. Be courteous to others setting up. Show cars will be parking all around you until the start of the show. Non Food trucks(except Mac's Cheesesteak), i.e. vendors selling food items, cookies, bread, etc you will be on the grass with the other vendors. The big food trucks and Mac's will be on the pavement. NO you can not leave your vehicle there next to your booth. NO you can not enter a car and have it next to your booth. NO you can not park on the pavement next to the green - I will have all vehicles parked there towed.(Doesn't apply to Food Trucks) NO you can not park on the dirt road parallel to hwy 89. ATV's will be traveling that road and you will not block their access. There are only 2 vendor spots reserved. The rest are first come first get. #1 Spot - very top of the Vendor line is for the SHOW SPONSOR Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort. This spot is directly across from the Raffle Table. #2 Spot right (obviously) next to #1 Spot is for Clucking it Up Farmstead as they need power at the tree behind the raffle table. Food Trucks: You will be set up on the pavement behind the diesel pumps/information shack and towards the top of the golf course/hotel. DO NOT BLOCK the entrance onto the green, refer to the map, in case the Fire/EMS needs to get out. You are the only ones allowed to park at the edge of the pavement/green. We need to keep one lane travel open to get to the parking at the top of the golf course. Hopefully we won't have people trying to go both ways like last year. We have a website and Facebook page with all the info, updates, awards sponsors, vendors, guest stars and more hype as we get closer to the event. You are all on it so check it out, share, like, #(meaning this as hashtag not pounds), all the social media stuff. <https://www.carmelmountaincarshow.com/> https://www.carmelmountaincarshow.com/ <https://www.facebook.com/carmelmountaincarshow/> https://www.facebook.com/carmelmountaincarshow/ Please help pick up all trash during and clean up before you leave. We want to be able to use the area again for more shows. And the biggest thing...HAVE A GREAT TIME!! See you all soon. This is a lot of info, humor and a sprinkling of fun so I hope you enjoyed reading this email. If you have any questions before the show, email me now. If you have issues at the show....well....
