Since this is you 1st car show to put on I really suggest make things simple.
Cub Scout Troop Best of Show award - Only the members of the Troop get to vote on all the cars and present an award.
Viewers Best of Show Award - Anyone that comes to see the show can vote for the best car and present an award.
Get the Troop involved with getting sponsors; take the troop members to different local businesses.
You be amazed at what even restaurants will donate for gift cards; different types of businesses will be willing to donate lots of things for silent auctions.
At the same time ask these businesses if you can put a poster or flyer on their front door to help promote the show. This shows the public that the business is helping support the troop.
Hand out flyers promoting your show at other shows, even better is have the troop go to the other shows and hand out the flyers.
It is a lot of work, you and the boys are making memories, good for you. O'Rielly's would be a good place to start. Hagarty's Ins has the windshield id cards you want. Let the boys do part of the going to local businesses to ask for donations, they need to do their part, and will probably get better donations than you.; Thanks for helping the Scouts.
We have a huge car show every year and we always let the attendees pick the categories. When they walk through the gate, we hand them a judging sheet and tell them they need to pick five categories, and we pick longest traveled, and let the kids pick the "Cub Scouts" choice. We announce over the intercom
when time is running out to hand in votes, that way we remove ourselves from the process other than to count votes.
Just a little help for you as far as voting for "best of". It works for us.
I was able to lock in 5 Sponser for the show so far. with Napa for the largest so far. We got some goodie bags coming. I did call Doug at March Pulley and Left a message. I reallt appriciate all your help on this. I have an artist working on the dash plaques and flyers this week.
