There are a ton of ways to do this but what I'm looking for is information for when the "big" shows are happening in NJ throughout the Spring through Fall timeframe. Last thing I want to do is make a plan and get arrangements setup for it to be a bust due to well established show occuring at the same time.

I forgot the name of the car show website that seems to list a bunch of these which could be helpful.

If any are interested in helping, I will keep it in mind when I get some better framework around the idea.

Hey we have a show for ten years upstate NY for just Firebirds, we have participants, no venue, all the parks and stadiums want from $525.00 to $3000.00 rental fees and hotels in Somerset and Piscataway don't want to commit to a show of this size..would consider Camaros '67 to '02, but that will double the amount of trophies...It is a benefit for Special Olympics, but the SONJ state office doesn't seem to want to help out...they just want the money. Any ideas or thoughts???

We can get insurance through a blanket Special Olympics policy, then you have special event permit, t-shirts trophies, DJ, and dash plaques..

I know it might not sound 'charitable', but you also have to consider yourself in the equation, you're going to be laying out a lot of money that you might not end up getting back... you dont want to put on a lackluster show, put in all this time/work/effort/money and not break even and then feel obligated to make a personal donation

who are some of SONJ biggest corporate sponsors? maybe one of them has a campus big enough to hold the show at.
