We applaud all of you who make Run To The Sun such a wonderful, fun, and well organized car show. We go to a lot of car shows and Relics & Rods puts on one of the best. I liked that you added 2 more food tables. Made the dinner lines go so much faster. Keep up the good work. See you next year.

Hi and thanks for your hard work on last week's show.  It was a bit of a struggle for us coming and going, with the weather, etc.  Nevertheless, we had a good time and were glad we came. We were sorry we couldn't wait and join the parade on Sunday.  Tucson is 324 miles from Lake Havasu City and we had to get home.  We'll have to plan better next time. 

Regards, 
Jim & Carolyn Wheeler

It was my first show as I purchased the car on the 18th. You and your committee did an excellent job. Thanks for all your hard work.  Looking forward to next year.
