The 2003 Summer Audi Expo (formerly the NE Audi Owners Club Aftermarket Show - name just too long...) show info is now available. See www.neaudi.com for all the details! Some teasers:

* It's being held at the Eastern States Exposition (aka "Big E") in the Young Building and on the grounds.
* Our dealership sponsor/cohost is Fathers and Sons Audi of West Springfield (they are adjacent to the fairgrounds)

The events are lining up as follows:

* Friday Night Cocktail Reception at Dealer
* Expo (aftermarket show) on Saturday (indoors)
* Premium Audi Show on Saturday (indoors)
* Autocross, tentatively run by the NEQ (NE Quattro Club)
* Saturday Night Happy Hour(s)
* Sunday AM buffet at dealer
* Sunday Scenic Drive

This event is *much* larger than in the past, but the theme is the same: getting Audi Enthusiasts together! All of the things you've had in the past (the great exhibitors, the scenic drive, etc) are still there, plus we've added the autocross and other social events.

The downside is that we have to charge a little $$ this year to help cover the cost of the event (building rental, insurance costs, janitor/security/first aid/etc..). Much of this cost will be passed onto the exhibitors, but there is a minimal cost for parking and show cars ($3 for general parking, $5 for "Audi Corral", $25 for indoor "show car" spaces).

It's not a "for-profit" venture - any fees that we collect will go directly to defraying event costs. Fathers and Sons has been kind enough to "front" the money for most of our costs, and any fees collected will be used to defray those costs...<ul><li><a href="http://www.neaudi.com">2003 Summer Audi Expo</a></li></ul>
