Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – Very well marked, easy to get to.
Parking Location – You could park just about anywhere you wanted be it grass, asphalt or under shade trees!
Class Organization – None, which is very difficult at shows like this, but there is no way they can class the cars.
Trophies & Prizes – The trophies were very nice, they’ve come a long way in 5 years! Many door prizes throughout the day, I didn’t see what they were though.
Food – Your typical with corn on the cob and homemade pies!!
Entertainment – The DJ from 3D Sound, which I like but the more I listened the more he repeated himself?! Where we were parked there was quite an echo, I don’t know if the entire park was like that. I’m sure they will work on that in the future. A great variety of music ~ today he played the “Macarena” which I usually never hear anymore unless it’s at a wedding reception filled with drunks!
Judging – I was a judge today, and thought they did a nice job, especially given there were over 400 cars! I did make a couple suggestions to make things easier on the judges and know they appreciate any and all advice they get. Having the cars all over the park was difficult even though most marked down where they parked. I had a couple that didn’t, which led to a wild goose chase and others that moved, which wasn’t good either.
Dash Plaque – A really nice, colorful one!
Variety of Cars – Excellent!!! So many I’ve never seen before!
Bathrooms – Portables, it had to be 200 degrees in them, but they worked.
Weather – Excellent!!!
Trophy Presentation Timing – They ran a bit late, but kept it moving once they got started. Everyone was out at a reasonable time.
Entry Fee – $10, which is typical and expected
Overall Rating: A-This is an excellent show that continues to grow every year! Jim & Vicki work very hard to make this a success and it shows. I would like to see some of the classes broken down a bit as they cover at least 50 years in some cases and it’s very difficult for owners of something from the 1950’s compete with something from the 80’s and 90’s….
Otherwise, it was a perfect day with so many cars to look at and friends to chat with. I look forward to this show every year!

Specific Ratings (A-F):
Arrival/Departure (easy to find, easy to leave?) – A, but I’m an avid visitor to Pardeeville….
Parking Location – A, there’s more than enough shade at this show unless you park on the football field.
Class Organization – There is none, you park where you see fit. Not really a problem unless your a judge.
Trophies & Prizes – A, very nice trophies this year!
Food – C, it’s that time of year where I start to get sick of burgers, brats, etc. However, the apple pie I had was delicious!
Entertainment – 3D Sound, thank your god of choice it wasn’t the annoying lady!
Judging – I was a judge at this show, and I have to say it sucked. I spent almost 4 hours judging one class. By the end I was very irritated, and had enough. Classes need to be broked up a bit more, I spoke with Marshall about this and he agreed. They should have a class for muscle cars, camaros, mustangs, and break up the modified classes with a slightly modified and a highly modified class.
Dash Plaque – Didn’t see any
Variety of Cars – A, many I’ve never seen before.
Bathrooms – There was a local park pisser and various plastic potties throughout the park.
Weather – A, couldn’t ask for a better day….not sure what I was thinkin’ wearing a black t-shirt though dontknow.gif
Trophy Presentation Timing – On time and kept things moving.
Entry Fee – $10 I believe, didn’t take car this year.
Overall Rating:AThis is a great show that continues to grow each year! I think there are some more classes that need to be added, and for the judges sake it would be nice to have all cars grouped together in class. Congratulations to all our Forum winners today – MMRJR, DDhemi, and anyone else that was deserving of an award! It was a great day for a car show thumbsup.gif

One of the “tips” that I have learned about the Pardeeville is that you must get there early in order to get a good parking spot! I arrived about 7:25 and I was car number 53. Officially, registration did not open or begin until 8:00 AM.
Thanks to Circletrack, Moparkid25, and DDHemi for volunteering to help at this show with the Judging. There are many of us who do appreciate your willingness to get involved with this show and others.

Sounds like a great show as it is every year! Here are some photos on their site, did anyone get any at this year’s show?
http://pardeevillecarshow.com/carshow.cfmI sent an email to the coordinator’s of this show in hopes to get some changes made for years to come.
Not sure if I’m :horse: or going to make a difference, only time will tell.
Much is said about DJs liking to hear themselves and being annoying. However, sometimes the venue requires the jock to say things to push raffles and advertise certain vendors and announce when things like awards are happening. I do agree that certain annoying traits have to go like the haha hey lookie there and when introducing a song, saying things like Let’s check out that little duece coupe, or checking out the Troggs. Just say the songs name with out the checkin’ out thingie. As a car show DJ myself, I try not to do that. I do announce my Name throughout the day, however.
