Kamloops Chapter Mall Display - Fall 2007
For a
number of years now our Chapter has had the opportunity of providing
the public with various Mall Shows. This fall it was organized by Tim
& Barb Wourms and held once again at the Sahali Mall. Each time
they try to pick a different theme. This time it was a fall theme.
Tim & Barb arranged for twelve different cars and a motorcycle for the show. The number of cars used depends on the amount of space the various malls allot us. We have always had an information desk set up where various members sit and answer questions from the public plus keep an eye on the cars. We have good support from our members as someone is always sitting at the desk during the hours the mall is open to the public. On the desk we have Membership Applications and a “Tin Book” which allows people to advertise items, parts or cars Wanted or For Sale. In the past members have had gotten some interesting leads.
We do ask the public to look at the cars and then vote on the car of their choice with the winning member getting his/her name on the “People’s Choice Award”. The winner is presented with a keeper trophy. This year Noella & Dave Dickinson donated a trophy for the “Best Display.” This is to encourage members to add something to help make a display rather than just a car on show.
