The weather is looking great for the weekend. Hope to see you there. We
have 71 pre-registered so far (behind last year) but we are confident that
we will have over 100 cars this year. Great way to spend Father's Day with
the family...
British Cars of New Hampshire & High Hopes Foundation
It's that time of year again, and plans for the Show of Dreams V are well
underway. Our goal of making it bigger and better than ever is well within
reach. The success of this Sunday, June 17th, charity event at the High
Hopes Balloon Festival in Milford, NH, depends not only upon BCNH member
participation, but upon guest club turnout as well.
Pre-registration has already begun, and neighboring clubs are invited! Our
club has experienced outstanding member participation in the past, but it's
the steady stream of new cars and new faces that make this event special
for us and for the High Hopes Foundation.
As always, all proceeds from our show are donated to High Hopes, which
grants wishes to seriously ill children throughout the state. High Hopes
makes dreams come true for dozens of children each year, and BCNH is proud
to support this cause. Your registration fees and raffle contributions
will help grant smiles to children who truly deserve the opportunity to
experience a dream come true.
This annual show has enabled BCNH to donate $5000 last year, and we'd like
to set a new record this year. The most popular wishes from the kids
include trips to Disney World, therapeutic bicycles/equipment, and
computers. Your participation can help make it happen. What better reason
could there be?
This year we are proud to offer the following fourteen: Austin-Healey; MG
TD, TF, and TC; MGA; MGB (Chrome Bumper); MGB (Rubber Bumper); TR2, TR3,
and TR4; TR6; TR7 and TR8; Jaguar XK and E type; Jaguar Sedans; Land Rover;
Other, Pre-1960 Vintage Classics; Other, 1960 to Present; and Best of Show.
Nicely-designed plaques will be awarded to the top three cars per class,
with a trophy for Best of Show. Our lovely four-color dash plaques and a
goody bag will be given to the first 100 cars registered. And we're putting
together another monster raffle. A separate special raffle includes
Winston Cup tickets for the NHIS September event. As always, there are
enough balloon festival activities to fill a weekend.
The festival begins Friday evening and continues through the weekend, with
attractions like the hot-air balloon glow, balloon flights and
demonstrations, helicopter rides, singers and bands, children's activities,
dancers, and performers. Local lodging is plentiful, including
bed-and-breakfasts and hotels. @ -Milford/Amherst Chamber of Commerce,
(603) 673-4360, and Nashua Chamber of Commerce, (603) 881-8333. Nashua is
a large city, offering many major lodging chains.
Show car registration is $15, and the show will be held from 9:00am to
3:00pm in the parking lot of the Hampshire Hills Sports and Fitness Center
in Milford, NH (same place as always). For pre-registration forms and
information, contact Louis Belanger at (603) 424-7835, or Linda Cagan at
(603) 472-5212, or visit our new web site at bcnh.net
