Give-Away XJ to Atlanta area

[Kudzu]

Andy mention something earlier about having a show and shine type thing at the dealership whre he works. This would be agret opertunity for us to get the XJ out for people to see and raise a little money for the club.

1. We need to set a date. Any time in March or early April would be good.

2. exactly what do we want to do with this??? Show and Shine, the XJ and a meal??

[jeepxjga]

i would definitely be up for that, hopefully the jeep can make it to anywhere in the atl area after this weekend of seriously needed overhauling.

[Jim 01XJ]

I would love to see what you guys did to the XJ. Dinner sounds good too.

[rjeep]

SIGN US UP TOO :D WE'LL DO ANYTHING FOR XJ'S

[rjeep]

There are alot of car shows also , hand out them flyers :D

Theres also a 4x4 show and swap meet in the Raleigh Area on march 15th... maybe you could make that "on your way" Just offering some possible ideas. -Tim

I need a date. I don't just want a show and shine. I want the good the bad and the ugly too. I want prizes for the best of the best and the best of the worst. I have a hot dog/burger guy if the dates are right. I can post fliers at the local 4x4 shops. I'll get a post in the "wheels" section of the AJC, and run fliers by local car shows. I need help with plaques/trophies for various categories and ideas for these categories with a seperate XJ category and section. I don't just want jeeps, I want all trucks. I need a date.

[Jim 01XJ]

Who has custody of the XJ anyway? I know you handled a lot of the work didn't you Heather. I could probably read about it on the NAXJA page but.....I am lazy.

[Kudzu]

It is sitting right here nice and clean with a brand new Hanibal Safari rack...

Andy that sounds great...Check with you Hot dog guy for some dates or just throw some out and we will pick. I have nothing planed in stone till Paragon and that is Last weekend in May.

[woody]

Sounds good to me...set a date & I'll try to drag some folks from NC down there to HotLanta :D

As an aside, (Heather...Danno?) do either of you have the NAXJA club banner? Was it at Moab and/or Winterfest?

I have a new Tread Lightly banner approx same size as ours, plus a smaller Blue Ribbon Coalition banner. It'd be nice to have them displayed down there.

[Kudzu]

As postedon the BOD I have a NAXJA Banner and the others would be great the date has been set for May 3. We paln to have a small raffle concession stand, 50/50 draw and awards for each catagory. Those who would like to help please say so and Andy or myself will get with you about a specic task that we need done.

Does anone know of a cheap place to have some small trophy made??

[woody]

There is a place nearby work that does plaques, engraving etc...

How many categories are we looking at?

*best (and worst) in show
*best (and worst) engineering
*best stock XJ
*best built XJ
*best non-XJ (?)
*best non-Jeep product(?)
*longest distance

That would be 9 there...what sort of entry fee (if any) to show a vehicle.

[a-mechanic]

The categories I was thinking are:
Best XJ
Ugliest XJ
Best Jeep
Best in Show
Best 4x4
Best Truck
Dirtiest Truck
Best Classic Truck
Least Likely to Make it Home without a Tow

I need volunteers for parking duty(two), money collection(1-2). It will be $5 for participants and 0 for spectators.

I forgot about a p/a system or dj if anyone is equipped that would be a big help. The fliers should be done March 7th.

Other volunteers include cleanup, setup, selling 50/50 tickets, selling raffle tickets for the XJ, and couting votes. I'm sure there are other things that I left out also.
This will be great for us the S.E. chapter and NAXJA as a whole.

[Jim 01XJ]

Where is the dealership. Unfortanetely I can't commit to anything but I am planning on stopping by. I could maybe give a hand then.

[jeepxjga]

well i'm definitely in, let me know if i can do anything to help and where the dealership is at.

[Georgia Mike]

Go ahead and have them engrave Woody's name on the "Least likely....." trophy :lol: J/K :roll: That may just be reserved for mine :shock:

[a-mechanic]

and there is plenty of help we and i will need.
where are you located jeepxjga? maybe you could pass out fliers at local shows near you. and at local shops? to begin with. :wink:

[jeepxjga]

[rjeep]
