Default Local Car Show Locator

Wanted to share with all of you a free site we started a couple years ago that has really taken off and I think you guys might like to know about.

Last year, during the Car Show season we launched a 100% free car show database for car show organizers and folks who just like to find car shows in their area. Whelp, the site is really doing well and has several thousand car shows loaded and over 55,000 registered users.

The site allows you the ability to click on a state and it will spit out all the local car shows in that state for the upcoming 30 days. You can also do an advance search by city, car show name, car show type, etc

The site is 100% free for all users and show promoters. Car show promoters and organizers simply add their show to the site with all the relevant information and it is instantly there for all to see and attend. We have also expanded to include all of Canada.

If you organize a car show, give it a try, nothing to lose, free and easy...If you want to search for a car show in your area, try it....again, 100% free and simple

If you have a free night and are looking for something to do after dinner, go to the site and see if there is a car show in your area.

The site is www.carshowfinder.org (or com, does not matter). Stop by and check it out.....

Thanks,

Jim

What would really help is if there is a "default"(unless I didn't see one) for the local we are interested in. Like I am interested in Oregon and Washington. Also, I don't see upcoming shows, or do I need to learn how to use the site???(dumb woman)

There is not a default zone but if you click on any state on the map on the main landing page it will only show you cars shows for that state. You can also use the advanced search feature for a more detailed search.

I checked Oregon and there was a show in Portland last weekend, I did not check Washington.

This is a really slow time of the year for car shows because of the weather. You can see from the past shows that there was a bunch of them in the states you mentioned.

The site only shows upcoming shows in a moving 30 day window.

Hope this helps?

Thanks,

Jim

Check out "Calendar View" - nothing listed in Oregon for all of 2013. All the Cars & Coffee listings are for 2012. I entered our Corvette show in August on this site and it does not show. Not feelin' it for this website.

We do not list the shows, it is up to the show organizer to list them. 2012 was pretty active for your area last year but for some reason 2013 is pretty thin. I will check and see if there is something up with the site.

Guess not.....Some states a loaded with results, others not as much. Site is dependent upon getting the word out to car show promoters so they can get their event loaded on the site. Totally free for them to do it, just a matter of them finding out about the site and getting it added.

I till contact those Car Show organizers and let them know about the site.

Thanks,

Jim
