Car Shows.

I entered a local car show a couple of weeks ago that a local car club was putting on. While I was sitting there another entrant came up and started talking about one thing after another and the conversation led to the fact that the local car shows don't give out big trophies or have different classes. Most get a participation plaque with a picture of their car. I went on to tell him that the whole concept of those kind of car shows were fund raisers for various organizations. He proceeded to tell me that he felt slightly cheated that he didn't get much for his $25 entry fee. I told him again, it is a fund raiser, the money he gave them went to different organizations like the Miracle Children's League (who's lot we were on), and other very worth while things. I also told him that the main reasons people enter these kind of car shows is to just show off their automobiles, camaraderie, and just a decent time all around. I then told him that a guy, his wife, and two small daughters came by and was bragging on my car. The two daughters stood by the car an wanted their dad to take their pictures. I told "dad" to put the girls in the front seat and let them look out the window. He was hesitant at first, but after I told him I had a three year old grandson that is in it all the time he let the girls get in and take their pictures. The guy I was talking to eventually left, I'm sure thinkin how Ignorant I was for letting this happen let alone why anyone would bring their car out to a car show like this. My thoughts? Life goes on big guy....
