I really liked this show, for a number of reasons.
Each car owner and participant gets one pick for their favorite car or truck. The top three vote getters are the winners. There is a 100 percent pay out in registration fees. The top winner received over $100 cash award. The second place winner received about $60 cash award and the third place winner took home about $40 cash award. There were no trophies or dash plaques or goodie bags, but the cash awards and pricey door prizes work very well for this show. This show is run well, nicely organized, and relies heavily on local sponsors for door prizes. Hot coffee and donuts were available starting at 8AM for the early arrivals.
Door prizes were plenty and very nice. Many cash gift cards for door prizes such as Kwik Trip $25 cards, Piggly Wiggly Gift Cards $25, etc.
Many at the Waterloo Show wanted to leave to attend the Benefit Show for Belinda Posto at Rev Jim's and the sun was beating down pretty good, so awards were handed out one hour early at 2:00PM. There was literally a convoy of cars straight from Waterloo to Rev. Jim's. Everyone got there with plenty of time to spare.
The big winner at this show was Al Peck (the Candy Girl car) who was the second place cash winner and who also won the grand door prize drawing for the Trek Bike.
Obviously, my earlier post and review is for the Waterloo Car Show and not the American Legion Show. Sorry for any confusion. I would have loved to make it to the VFW benefit show also on Saturday, but two was all I could do.
