Which brings me back to the subject of this post. The 3D world I am referring to is The 19^th Annual Show & Shine I attended today - and The 3^rd Annual Graffiti Night, sponsored by the Quincy Elks Club last night too. I had a BLAST! I’m sure those of you who were there saw me gliding around on my own cool ride, grinning ear to ear. That’s because the show was one of the best I’ve attended here in our corner of the world. It made me proud to be your webmaster.

We’ll post a full report of the Show & Shine for 2008 and the Graffiti Night, along with lots of pictures later. I think it would be great to get the words of some of the club members, mainly because I’m not sure my own version is worthy enough. So, if you are a club member, or someone who attended and would like to offer your own first-hand report, please use the contact form and send your thoughts through the ether to me. Let me know if you have pictures you’d like to post too and I’ll tell you how to get them to me. Remember, this is your website, SCSR Members, and it will be so much better with your participation.

Let me close this now by giving a hardy congratulations to Craig “Goose” Helrich, who was this year’s Best of Club award winner. That’s a beautiful 1933 Chevy Coupe. Goose’s car will be the club’s logo car for the next year. I haven’t replaced the original one as of this post date, but I hope to get it done shortly. I think it’d be great to feature each year’s BoC in the logo. Here’s a picture of the happy winner. Until the next post, drive safe.

I will do my best to get things organized and the announcements posted for the Show & Shine and Grafitti Night. There’s lots of pictures to put up too and I am as anxious as you are to see your prized ride featured here on the website. But I’d like to use this first post to draw your attention to a couple things I need help with.

The logo in the corner of the website is something I spent quite a few hours putting together, but I will be the first to admit it needs a little change - you might even think it needs a lot of change. Well, I didn’t have much to go on. All I had for a template was the flyer sent out announcing the shows. I think I did pretty damn good, considering, but there are issues. The car ain’t one a yours. I’d like to have one of the clubs own cars in that logo. The way I designed it lets me change the car fairly easily. Don’t go gettin’ carried away though, it still requires some considerable time to do it. You guys pick the car you want and that’s what we’ll use. If you don’t have decent pictures, I can do that too. Maybe we can change the car in that logo once a year or so. Or maybe not.

The mountain picture in the background of the logo is a picture I took of the mountain range near Bassett Station - uh, sorta. I did take the picture, but I flipped it and stretched it, so it doesn’t look as much like the mointain as the mountain would like. I know, God’ll get me for that. But my point is that I think I need to get a better mountain picture. You are certainly welcome to offer any suggestions, or submit your own picture for use.

Go ahead and make any comments you’d like about the logo and I’ll do my best to make you happy. I did manage to get a picture of Rusty’s Corvette in the header. That’s another picture that can - and should - be changed regularly. I’d really like to see a shot of all the member’s cars who have won a prize or trophy have a turn up there. I guess that means my fine ride won’t be up there anytime soon.

Okay, that’s all for now. Post your comments. Tell your friends. Send me anything you want to have posted here. Some of you will get trained on how to use this, so’s I don’t have to do all the work. Let me know if you’re interested. In the mean time, I hope you approve of what I’ve done so far.

Jim
