A local club rescheduled their long running show this year.  They scheduled it for the same day as Corvettes for a Cure (6/11/06). This is to be the 3rd year for Corvettes for a Cure.  I received an email from someone saying that they know of at least 10 cars that will not be able to go to CFAC because they'd be going to the other show.

I'm not sure what to do.  I'm pretty sure holding CFAC on 6/11 would be a mistake because turnout would be really low.  I can't move it to any other date in June for various reasons.  I don't know if I should try to find another date in July or after, or if I should just cancel it. Canceling it would, of course, be the easiest choice... for one thing, it is very hard for me to create this show every year all by myself.  I've gotten people to help on the day of the show, which was great and much appreciated, but I can't seem to get help putting the show together in the first place.  So caneling the show would take a huge load off my plate.  On the other hand, I'd feel bad because the charity would not get their chance to raise money.

I'm not sure what to do, and I should probably make the decision very very soon. 

Anyone have any thoughts on this subject?

Sorry to hear your news. Have you given any thought to contacting other (than Corvette) car clubs in the area to maybe help you out?

Many car guys are looking for something to do and might be eager to help you out.

Good luck and let us know if we can help (long distance) in any way as well.

hey Adam,why not take all your vettes of CFAC with a passenger and the familys with a bus to that other show ? make a caravan and reserve a group place over there ? Would be great , or to far ?
PS don't forget a recovery truck or trailer , even those unlucky should make it !

That sux.
Would it be possible to combine the two events? I only mention that because I know the Lone Star Corvette Classic has done that in years past, in order to not alienate other groups/events. Just a thought. I'd hate to see you have to totally cancel CFAC because of a scheduling conflict.

Adam, Joel and Barry have a pretty good Idea. Can you ask the other club if we could hold our fundraiser at their function. I can't imagine them refusing us, after all it's for a worthy cause, plus do you care if we share the credit with them ? It probably will increase the donations since two clubs are involved. And if it works we can do it again next year with them which means you no longer have to plan anything !

Combining the two events would seem to be the logical thing to do.

how about resheduling it in may
