Chanhassen Brewery Car Show

All,
 Need to let you know that a few more Cars would have been nice but I didn't get help to advertise  would have like. Yes it was last minute planning this 1st Time Show But timing in conjunction with the Autoplex was not helpful but I did let the owner of the Brewery Company know the situation ahead of time and he wanted to go with that date. Next one probably in August will be on a day that will work better and maybe more help from you Folks.
 I let the Brewery do the advertising on Face book but should have created a flyer like I do for my Shows cause a couple of mistake were made the confused the starting time as a couple Cars came at 7pm the end of the Show. Couple of mistake in the Face book Page where made like a one was the time in a sentenc7e was list like this 4 in a black latter 7 in a blue letter which some folks paid attention to the Blue letter as the 7 being the starting time. Got it?
 Thanks to the Folks who did show up I appreciate it Plenty of Door prizes for those who showed up.
 Another issue was I listed near Target and LeeAnn Chins I heard it said Folk didn't want to swelter in and open parking lot those buildings were mentioned for a landmark as where to go to the former Perkins Building address was given which now is  the Brewery and the land around and by the Brewery has plenty of trees and shade looks like a park!
 Will learn from some mistakes made and try to be accurate in descriptions and try to pick the best date possible and hope some of the Car Folk can take a chance to do something new. I will make my own flyer as I have in the past.
Six Cars did show up then two more came after 7pm and left as Mildred my '49 was the only car left Will try again in August
 Cheers,

 PS Thanks to Steve Dean for suggesting to the owner I take on this task
