Lomotion/DARE Car Show

We had a great turnout for the Lomotion/Town of Poughkeepsie DARE car show today. Everyone did a great job getting the cars parked quickly. Many thanks to Alisa, Ray and Dan for their assistance with the parking and gate and for their time today. Thanks to them, the process was very smooth.

The music was great, the show cars were spectacular and John and Carolyn from Lomotion were great sponsors. Carolyn put out a lot of her time to collect prizes from the local businesses for the Chinese auction and package gift baskets for the tables. They were beautiful.

DJ Donna kept to her timeline and we were able to complete the Chinese auction, award 50 trophies and a memorial trophy (in memory of Jennifer Marie "Niffie" DeVito) within a one hour time frame and the show ended promptly at 3:10 pm.

The Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department ended the show with a quick exit for the cars as they had shut down Route 44 to empty the Lomotion lot. All of the show car owners cooperated and joined in an exit cruise. It was great to see all the wonderful cars and trucks leave the event all at once with no delays and traffic jams. Most of all, many many thanks to the car owners for coming to the event and making it the success that it was.

The DARE program received a large portion of its needed budget from this event and the kids will surely benefit from that. Thanks again everyone!
