Hello-hello!

So, this week we've been gathering up the latest updates on the annual auto shows.  And as I mentioned a few weeks back - many of the Spring and early-Summer annual shows have been canceled.

But this weekend there's one that's definitely on!  It's the

Heartbeat Happening Classic Car Show taking place at the Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center.

And another show that's happening is the

Orphan Car Show being hosted by the Automobile Driving Museum

.

Plus there are more annual shows moving forward in May, June and, July.  But COVID is keeping many shuttered yet again this year.

However, come late August through the rest of the year.  Our annual shows are looking okay!  (Fingers crossed it stays that way.)

Thank goodness we always have our

regular cars and coffees!

Stay tuned!
