Another event bites the dust due to the current economic conditions. We received word today thet due to lack of major sponsership that the event would not happen in 2009 and the 2010 event is in jeopardy as well.
With the loss of the Portland Rod and Custom and Seattle Roadster Show we have lost 5 major shows/contests since 2000.
We have been kicking around the idea of resurrecting a show similar to the Seattle National. The Seattle National in 2000 drew over 500 models to a single day event. Unfortunately, the Seattle event had the dubious honor of being the first national event following September 11th.
Since, travel restrictions have been eased since 2001 it just may be time to produce this type of show in Portland.
Chime in Guys I'd love your feedback before we commit to such a venture.
