Mark thank you for your support of the 23rd annual Ironstone Concours. As you know from attending, we are one of the larger concours in the country with over 400 cars last year plus motorcycles, vintage trailers, tractors and stationary engines. Each year we have cars coming directly from Pebble Beach and other fine concours, as well as authentic historic race cars. Your sponsorship is greatly appreciated and we hope your listeners will join us this year or in the near future, as we continue to grow.
Thank you Wayne. I love attending the Ironstone Concours last year. What a fantastic event!
