Okay, I spoke to my contact at Annapolis Volvo Subaru today. I'll be calling him back next week to confirm details, but it looks as if we'll be holding a Volvo show on this date in Annapolis, MD. This is also the same weekend for the Volvo Ocean Race to be in port in Annapolis & Baltimore, MD. <P>So the question is, how nuts do we go? Here's what I'm thinking.<P>Come up with a name...<P>Promote on other Volvo boards, local dealers, local indy Volvo shops etc.<P>We'll do awards I think, and see if any of the Volvo-oriented companies care to contribute prizes, but I'll only ask this if it looks like we'll be getting a decent interest in the event.<P>We should try to promote it with VCOA, VSA and the Washington Volvo Club. Also, I'm going to contact Volvo regarding having their own vintage cars on hand (they'll be in FL the week before for the VCOA FL event, but they're kept in Rockleigh NJ, so I'll try to divert them into Annapolis, maybe see if we can get an XC90 on hand also). Again, a lot of this depends on response to the event, and we'll have to scramble to make this happen.<P>I'll also probably devise a flyer to run out of local Volvo businesses. Any other ideas? Name ideas?
