spiraliciousCar Show
It was time again for the MDA Benefit Car Show. My Uncle is in charge of it every year and he uses his family as manual labor. I was more involved then usual this year. I went with my grandmother to go drop off sponsor forms and pick up checks. I was Dayle's secretary on several occasions. Two of the girls that hang around the shop and I sorted cans and cashed them in. I also did the window "stickers". Thats just what I did. There where also trips to the casino to pick up stuff. Bag stuffing. T-shirt labeling and bagging. T-shirt designing and ordering. The list goes on. It is always a team effort and it is always a mess the night before. The day of we all got up early to set up. I got put in charge of the registration table. My cousins were in charge of the raffle. One of my aunts was in charge of the silent auction. Another aunt and one of my uncles was in charge of the motorcycle's poker run. My uncle that runs the show's mother was in charge of the t-shirt sales and my grandmother was in charge of Quillow sales. It was a long hard day and great fun. I did get to take a break and go look at the cars. There were 108, I should know I was registering them. When the end of the day came we packed up in what seemed like seconds. there was a brief moment of panic when everyone thought I didn't have a ride home but my grandmother took be. I think Dayle was very happy. It was his 10th annual and he wanted to make it special. A few days after the car show my grandmother and I were on the road again delivering t-shirts to sponsors that hadn't picked them up yet. And we are all happy that we don't have to deal with this again till next year.
