Dear Tonya,
The 29th Annual NIA International Convention In Charlotte NC is just a month away! The event team has put together a week for NIA members that is just spectacular - and I can't wait to get there for all the fun!
Have YOU made plans to attend? Whether you can come for the whole week or just a day or two - I encourage you to make your hotel reservations soon and get your registration forms mailed or faxed in - pre-registration closes July 10th. On-site registration is limited and may not be available for all events. Call the Ayrsley Hilton Garden Inn directly to reserve your rooms - 1-704-970-5000 and ask for the NIA $99 room rate.
We'd really love to see YOU at Charlotte! See below for all the news and notes - with new events added and great traditions continued, the last week of July is sure to be a memorable one for everyone.
It is gorgeous weather here in Minnesota - if you like it hot! Sunny skies mean beautiful days just made for cruising....makes me wish for a convertible! Maybe someday.....

CONCOURS JUDGING INFO:
The Judging Team is ready to evaluate your classic Chevy, and their expertise is second to none. Ron Mroz, Team Captain, encourages you to pre-register if you would like to have your Chevy judged at Charlotte. Never had your car judged? Give it a try - first-timers have told us they were glad they did! The Judging Team received rave reviews at last year's inaugural Concours event, and they're a great resource if you have questions about your classic Chevy.
ON CAR SHOW DAY:
Please note that the Concours Show Field will be closed to spectators while judging takes place on Tuesday, July 28. The field will re-open to the public once judging has been completed. |
