Hello Micro Friends
For many of you this may be my first correspondence since last year's Micros in the Bluegrass event. Sorry for the long delay, but we finally have a direction in regards to our next gathering. We are happy to report that we have selected Cartersville, Georgia, and more specifically the Savoy Automobile Museum as the focal point for the event. Each year the Savoy hosts The Connection Car Show, consisting of 300 show cars and a little over 3,000 spectators. It is the only show they have each year, and for the first time in the show’s history they have decided to feature a class of cars. Normally, those who attend, are parked as they enter, but the Micros are going to have our own area where we will be able to park up to 30 cars as a group.
Normally, there is an entrance fee for the show, but as there has never been a fee to attend this event in over two decades, in all of it iterations, so we were able to secure our spaces at no charge to exhibiters. The only drawback, at this point is, they have not announced the date for next year’s event. At this point The Savoy plans to host next year’s show in September, but they have yet made the date public. With this year’s show being on September 6, 2005 hopefully next years’ date will be made public any day.
Cartersville, has become a hot bed for museums besides the Savoy, possibly the most interesting one for this group will be Old Car City USA, but the Tellus Science and the Booth Western Art Museums are also great choices.
Besides having hands down, the finest museum facilities in the country, they also give tours of the museum’s entire collection, much of which is not open to the public, as well as show car related movies and do car trivia, so hopefully our hosts will indulge us with these activities as well.
So, if you are in the middle of a major restoration or just need minor work on your car, make plans to join us at the Savoy and stay tuned for further details! This Micro gathering is a Bi-annual event, held in the Southeastern United States.
