With success comes complications. Seem like I heard this some time ago. It applies to car gatherings as well. When you need a venue for 80 or 100 cars it pretty easy to find something. For 1000…

After talking with folks from the city of Alpharetta I’ve decided to try to do this right. C&O can now be called an event, and as such I need to go through channels in order to locate a spot that we can hopefully call home for more than a few months.

Now that we have quite a few generous sponsors I can pursue making the event official. To do so will require money (what doesn’t?) as insurance for the gathering will be required. Also I’ll be hiring at least one more off duty officer. Clean up will be another item.

Take the time to check out the sponsor page. They are why this event will continue. Unfortunately I don’t think this will occur in time for the July event. Lots of key people are going out of town next week including myself (work, not vacation). From what I’ve heard it would have been a smaller group anyway due to the holiday weekend.

I’d like to say thank you for all your emails of support, and suggestions of new venues. It’s always a pleasure to read how much folks enjoy the show.

Keep checking the site for news after the holiday, and have a safe and happy 4th of July.
