Toyota moves in and TDC Cancelled. One day venue that brings more than 25k attendees and Toyota denies the contract. TDC will move to somewhere else for 2015.
From FOL .......
Sadly, we're canceling the Texas Dream Cruise charity car show for 2014.
Thanks for your support of (and attendance at) the June 2013 car show. Final count we had over 1300 cars and an estimated 25,000 attendees. That put us in the top 3-4 car shows statewide in Texas for last year (we pay a staff member 20 hours a week to maintain a database of the car clubs and car shows throughout Texas and we're estimating there are 5000-6000 car shows in Texas each year.) From the registration fees and through the help of our generous sponsors, we wrote checks to the Boys & Girls Club of Collin County, the North Texas Military Association and City House - and provided free booths to over 25 other non-profit organizations who reported great donations at their booths. We had somewhere between 80-90 volunteers help us produce last year's show. (My hat's off to my partner Rob Mashigian for conceiving of the idea for this charity car show.)
For those of you that missed the 2013 car show, Dave Stana with Silver Star Pictures produced a great video of the day - see a link in my signature line at the bottom.
Due to contractual issues with Toyota Stadium, we will not be hosting a car show this year, but we'll be back in June of 2015. We've narrowed it down to four possible venues in Frisco - and we'll let you know once we have a confirmed location and date. Our plan still is to make this one of the top 3 car shows in the US over the next 4-5 years (along with the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit and Hot August Nights in Reno) and add car auctions, a 2-day swap meet, motorcycles judging, an RV parking area and additional bands/evening parties.
Thanks also to the over 2 dozen FOL'ers who helped out last year. Thank you also to the City of Frisco for your great support. See you next year!
