Flyer of the Month for August

It's hard to believe August is over. There were a lot of great events, and the only thing left to do at the end of the month was to pick our favorite car show or cruise-in flyer. And the winner is . . . Unique Tin Weekend / Billetproof Hot Rod Eruption Drags.

This flyer has a lot going for it: 

  • Good artwork.
  • Simple colors.
  • Unique lettering.
  • All event details right on the flyer.
  • It's wall worthy.

Even the spelling is right. There have been a few this year with bad spelling, two with the wrong date, and several with no address or contact info. This one got everything right, and it looks good, too. Unique Tin is a popular show, so no problem drawing a crowd, but put some quality time into your show flyer and you will get a better turnout.

 

Now all I want to know now is where I can get my hands on one of those 1958 Edsel Roundup 2 door wagons. That is a rare bird, but it sure looks cool as a gasser.

Jelly Belly Wheelstander

Okay, nobody ever told me there was a Jelly Belly Wheelstander. Looks pretty cool, too. This thing would make a great street machine. Anyway, it's on display at the Oregon State Fair Wednesday, September 1st and Thursday September 2nd at the main concourse, behind the Bi-Mart Center Stage.  Sponsored by Bi-Mart, of course.

Kiwanis 2010 Mustang Raffle

There's still time, but not much. The Kiwanis 2010 Mustang is now at its last stop at the Oregon State Fair, and the winning ticket will be drawn there on the fair's closing day, September 6th. You can see the car and buy your tickets at the fair, or you can also purchase tickets online if you are an Oregon resident or a non-resident currently in Oregon.

Proceeds from the raffle benefit the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children's Cancer Program. So go on, buy some tickets to support the kids, and maybe you'll be driving this beauty soon.

Billetproof Hot Rod Eruption

 

Here's a string of videos from the Billetproof Hot Rod Eruption on Sunday. Nothing special with music or editing, just a bunch of short shots dumped together. Full-screen it and turn up the volume when the racing starts. Thanks to Billetproof and Riverdale Raceway for a great time.

For more pictures from Sunday, see our Billetproof Hot Rod Eruption 2010 Gallery on Flickr.

Random Event Flyer Pick.

We'll pick our favorite flyer from all the August Events soon, but just had to throw this one out there. Let's call it the "Best Flyer for a Church Sponsored Event". No explanation needed, I'm sure.

 

Should be a good show, by the way. We have other commitments, so can't make it to this one. If you do, let us know how it is, and get pictures.

 

Now about that favorite flyer of the month. Go back through all six pages of the August Events listings and pick your favorite. Then let us know on our Facebook page why you picked that one. Not on Facebook? Then shoot us a message from the Contact page.
