Our club will once again host a club display at the 2023 Rod and Custom Show on January 13th, 14th and 15th, 2023 at the Bend XPO Center, 922 Mississippi Parkway, East Moline IL. This winter indoor venue provides the MVR with one of the biggest public exposures that our club has previously participated in each year. The organizers of the show are very pleased that we will bring our display to the show in 2023 based on the quality of the cars that have been presented at past events. We are seeking two vehicles, one early usually pre-war vehicle and one late vehicle, for display at this year’s show. Our club would also like to see our membership come on down to the XPO Center and join in with populating our club display with members who are eager to talk to the public about our club and their interests in the antique car hobby. Talking to the public directly has been our best method of attracting new membership into the MVR. Bring a lawn chair if you like. There are plenty of reasonably priced food and beverage (adult style if preferred) available at the Bend concession stand.
PLEASE CONSIDER BRINGING A CAR AND SPENDING SOME TIME TO PROMOTE OUR CLUB AT THE CLUB DISPLAY.
If anyone should have any questions or have interest in bringing a car, please do not hesitate to contact me.
