    OOOpppps, I just tried to find a 2015 date and found THIS from 2013, I think it was 2012 when I was there last:

    http://www.gazettes.com/news/busines...9bb2963f4.html

    http://www.signaltribunenewspaper.com/?p=18302

The car show also replaced the Bixby Knolls Street Fair, which once attracted about 10,000 people and closed down the street as well.

    ^^^ THis is Dave Mandella of Mandella boats... I first met Dave Mandella AND also Amos Satterlee (world famous top fuel engine builder) at this event around 2010....
