Bad news on the doorstep...due to Koon's Chevrolet backing out of their committment to our club, the 2003 Concours Show that was going to be held 21 Septemeber at the Dulles Expo Center has been Cancelled. :sad: :sad: :sad:

Koon's General Manager, Alex, advised the president of the NVCC the funds to support sponsorship was not included in the budget for this year. So Koon's cannot support the show :bs :bs

So Koon's waits 34 days before the show date to tell us this, after all year they have been telling us they would sponsor us again. The club has spent money, time, and most of all notified many people about the show with registrations being received daily.


As far as I am concerned (MY OPINION ONLY) I would NEVER buy a car from such a dealer that pulls this :bs to a club who is PROMOTING THEM.

Sorry I have to Vent Somplace as I was the Concours Chairperson....

Sorry guys no show this year...for those who have sent registration we will send them back...... I will keep you posted

There's not another dealership around that will sponsor it in their place?

BTW: I would send a strongly-worded letter to the GM regional office. This is bad PR -- at its worst. Perhaps let the local media know, too. Write a press release.

:iagree: There is a local chevy dealer in our area plagued by the same problem, BAD MANAGEMENT. :bs Very sorry to hear for you guys sake.

I know how frustrating it is. I've been part of a committee that is trying to put on an event here in Charlotte NC on September 26, 27, 28. For the past year we've been meeting. We haven't had sponsorship problems, just really low attendance. I hope ours will fly. Sorry to hear about yours. Maybe you can do it next year. :seeya
