2012 - Concours Judges School, Phoenix,
AZ
Mark May 5th on your calendar and
join us for a MBCA Concours Judging School. National Concours Chief
Judge Pete Lessler will be visiting the Desert Stars and will hold a
day-long class to show us how to judge the cars we all love. Chuck
Stanford Jr. at Concours@StarFest2012.org
We are advising you of the date noted above because our Club has
been very active with this car show in the past. This show has
always been a fun event usually having over 500 cars that are all
parked on grass.
Last year, ten of us all met at the shopping
center on the North East corner of Craycroft Road and River Road in
"Club Row" and caravanned together to St. Gregory Preparatory
School, at 3231 N. Craycroft Road, Tucson, AZ. where this show is
held. If we have at least ten members enter again this year,
we will be provided with a special section with signage like last
year. We hope to do the same this year but we need a good turn
out from our membership. Read
