I am a Scion Champion out of Silver Spring, MD and I want to hold a car show event in College Park. The thing is I need the opinion from you guys if I should do it and a little feedback and ideas for the event. Here's what I have so far:
-Date is either March 29th or April 12th.
-There will be food and live entertainment.
-1st-5th place prizes for car show applicants, and Scion accessories will be awarded to 1st-3rd place winners
-Free to get in and FREE FOOD!!!
-$2.50 Application fee (pure price, lol) for car show contestants.

We are on a strict budget, so if you have any "cost efective" ideas it would realy help!!

 

ill go lol, i think u should make it in march

 

Hmm. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Considering your strict budget, is your dealership paying for the lot over at CP or do you have connections there? I know a great place to have a Scion Only car show which has also had multiple shows in the past. PM me if you are interested. Otherwise, CP is still a great place to have a show and good crowd.

Hmm, feedback. Ok, what kind of entertainment is expected? (DJ, gaming stations, dunk booth, etc.) Has your dealership considered collecting cans or other items to give to a charity?

Whatever the case, I wish you well and I might be there.

 

As far as the event being hel in march it looks like a big possibility. as for entertainment were looking into a DJ and a band or two. but I am also open to any ideas as to a location because the loc. aint set in stone yet. my budget is being choked off Central Atlantic Toyota (CAT)


the dunk tank idea is a pretty good one though.

 

oh snap i go to umcp! i will definitely be there! ill get some more people with scions to show up too D

as far as ideas, how bout a raffle? i know people want scion gear too

 

oo snap! this gives me 1..2...5.. -3 ..a month to get my xd ready haha but if theres sum boardwalk fries or funnel cake with some soda then that would be great! lol

 

You should probably talk to the local car clubs like the Scikotics, tC tuners, Scion Evolution, ect. and see if anyone would be willing to help ya'll out. Plus the local clubs can help get the word out.

 

awsome ideas guys the funnel cake and boardwalk fries are bad though because the food is free and thats expensive, lol. but the raffel is good though and I am also looking into sumo suits for sumo wrestling. so I may look into tieing that into the raffel and making an event out of that too. and to Ghost 1 email me @ shaun.capps@gmail.com with your contact info and I'll get in touch with you on that.

 

haha ii jst mentioned funnel cake since ii havent had one for ages lol .. but no doubt this sounds like a good event that me nd my friends will be down for like chrominized (khai).. hope all goes as planed

 

yea ill try to bring as many people, scion lovers and alike to come out to the event.

 

i'd be down to go!

 

I'd be down to go as well. as long as I dont have to work that day xD. my xa doesnt have much on it though

 

it's all good man! all scion enthusiasts should come out to this. hmmm lets try to think up a way to get the word out....

 

hey it would be realy great if you guys can do this for me, get together an idea of how many people you can get to come to the event and an idea of how many ppl that want to submit their car. this will realy help me when I have my meating with my bosses this week. email it to me @ shaun.capps@gmail.com

 

i'm def there! i'll be rolling with chrominized and xd_kidd.

i have a proposition. get together the list of what is going to be in the event, make 1/4 paper cheap copies of it and we'll help give it out to ppl (not all scion owners/car enthusiasts know about SL or car shows).

Example:

Scion Car Show!
Prizes, raffles, sumo wrestling, bikini car wash, free food, blah blah blah!!

Adress
Date & Time

Anyone welcome! (future buyers preferred) LOL

I do suggest a good raffle prize for both owners and non-owners (like t-shirts, hats, and a few good raffles like lowering springs or wind splitters at a reasonable price per ticket). and for the bigger raffles, dont sell them until you have a clear idea of how many people will be there (if there's not hunderds of people you can sell the tickets for a little more). just trying to make it exciting and help you fix budget costs.

 

well if it's scion exclusive, then i can run around campus putting flyers on all the scions

 

bikini car wash sounds good eric... get hooter girls to come over lmao .. as flyer situation goes.. everyone should post up some ideas (affordable of course) and see if we can find common ground between all of them.. from there by the end of the month we should use the ideas most voted by us nd show it to sciondealer19043 and from his approval we'll know what events or ideas stays and goes and by the 1st week of march we have all the accurate details and information to pass out flyers to everyone!

 

so heres an update guys. UMCP is also holding a tuner carshow at the same time as far if we aggree to hold the event side by side with them we may be able to get this thing off the ground. I'm still waiting on the exact details. when I get em' I'll post them for everyone to see.

 

another thing if you guys know any bands that are any good give em' my contact info. I'm still working on getting a band out there. Let em' know to get a demo CD together for to hear as well. And yes, they will get paid!

 

If its the same show that I've been to the past 2 years, it pretty big
