Cool Building! Over the over half century I've been coming to this building, it still makes me smile be it new cars to see during the fair, exhibits in other times of the year, or shopping during the Hot Chocolate run each year.
My most favorite memory was sometime in the late 1960's when Clayton Moore, the Lone Ranger, was signing autographs. His manager was telling him his contracted time was up to sign autographs. He refused to leave saying he wasn't leaving until the last kid in line had their autograph and to keep the line open!
I've always used the car show to try on cars for fit. There are a lot I don't fit within! It is also a great place during the car show to seek out the automaker marketing team to provide feedback on cars for future design changes and ideas.
