Hi Folks: Last year, I notified the Listserver about the Prestigious Franklin Mint Car show 3 weeks prior to its date. Many expressed the wish that I had notified them sooner. OK, that is what I am doing now. This year's show is scheduled for Sunday, September 29, 2002. Participants begin arriving at 8:00 AM and the show starts at 10:00 AM and closes at 4:00 PM. There is NO registration fee charged to Participants but you MUST pre-register. Last year, there were 37,000 people who attended the show and saw only 2 Letter cars, Tony Rinaldi's 300 F cvt and my 300 F coupe. Both drew large crowds and many questions. Participants receive the following: Free Continental Breakfast Free Lunch Customized Dash Plaque ( Top Quality of course) A Free Franklin Mint die cast model ( several to select from- last year I selected the Bonnie & Clyde V-8 Ford model ) Remember this is all free to Participants but you MUST pre-register. NO day of show registrations. If you wish to attend, either call or e-mail Heather Powers , Event Chairperson at the Franklin Mint. phone: (610) 459-7027 e-mail: hpowers@xxxx This year, they are anticipating more than 40,000 attendees. Join Tony and I for a truly fine experience. Tom Harkins 300s4ever [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
