2012 Tank Museum Car Show Flyer

The Tank Museum's 8th Annual Indoor Car and Bike Show was a huge success. The show brought in 185 of Virginia's and North Carolina's best cars, trucks and bikes. The participates were displayed in 75 different classes. The first 100 participants received goody bags with many nice items including, free food. The participants were also given dash plaques.

The raffles this year were tremendous with well over 100 items being raffled off. Through donations by local businesses and large corporations, the museum was able to gather items ranging from a B&M Shifter and t-shirts to gift certificates for food and free gas.

Each year the museum likes to thank the car show participates by having a raffle based solely around them. When each car enters the show, the driver's name is put in a hat. We than draw names from those participants only. This year there were three items given away:

3rd Place Drawing - Goody Grab Bag - Winner was Dillon Clemons

2nd Place Drawing - Screwdriver Set - Winner was David Willis

1st Place Drawing - Brand New Shop Vac - Winner was Joey Howell

*MAKE SURE TO ATTEND THIS YEAR'S SHOW AS THE PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ENTERED IN CASH PRIZE GIVEAWAYS!

This was a fun day for all and the museum had over 800 people attend the show.

The museum's 9th Annual Indoor Car and Bike Show will be held on November 3rd, 2012, and will be bigger and better. With just as many classes and a few more added surprises. So mark your calendar for Southern Virginia's best Indoor Car and Bike Show!
