Interested
in cars all my life, my more serious involvement
with car shows began in 1992. From then until
2002, we organized and hosted over 15 car and
truck shows.
We began working with Hot August Nights in 2000
organizing the new Big Boy’s Toy Store. With the
inaugural opening for Hot August Nights 2001, it
was a great success. It was the major attraction
for Hot August Nights, 2001. Having the 40,000
sq. ft. building about one half full in 2001, it
was completely sold out in 2002, rendering it a
complete success! The building housed a maximum
of 236 10’ x 10’ spaces. Being mostly automotive
vendors, it is a great draw to up to 10,000
people daily.
The Big Boy’s Toy Store quickly outgrew its’ old
location and is now situated in the new 55,000
sq. ft. Reno Event Center.
We have worked with the Peppermill Casino for
nearly 10 years. In 1999, we took over the Hot
August Nights Venue for the Peppermill Casino.
It has been a success every year since. We use
the entire Northern parking lot of the
Peppermill. Exhibitors are situated around the
perimeter of the parking lot. Our goal is to
situate each vendor in a location that best
suits his business. The center is set up for
show ‘n shine and cruising. While most of the
activity is late afternoon and early evening,
the Peppermill draws 2,500 to 5,000 vehicles
daily.
Beginning in 2001, we handled the Street
Vibrations for the Peppermill for three years.
With 20,000 to 25,000 motorcycles attending the
Street Vibrations, this event draws thousands of
motorcycles and riders to the Peppermill.
Since 2000, we have worked with the Carson City
Convention and Visitors Bureau to organize and
put on the Silver Dollar Car Classic. Located in
the Mills Park in Carson City, this event draws
over 300 vehicles!
In 2006 we began working with RP Productions. We
handle vendors for the San Francisco Rod, Custom
and Motorcycle Show held at the Cow Palace in
San Francisco each January.
Our most recent addition is the Hot August
Nights Swap Meet. Held in conjunction with Hot
August Nights, this event takes place at the
Reno Livestock Events Center. We will be dealing
with over 2,000 vendors and exhibitors at this
venue alone during the week of Hot August
Nights.
With all of our dealings with Hot August Nights
as well as RP Productions, we are really excited
and enthusiastic about the new growth of our
endeavors.
