Quail Run RV Park Show
Contributed by Ed Sindoni Located in Pasco County near Wesley Chapel, Quail Run presents an annual “car” show to raise funds for their designated charities.

Carlisle’s Winter Autofest at Lakeland

Billetproof Show at Don Garlits Museum

Car Show Don’ts

So I chose option two; decline Dad's dependable car and got Mom approved 1967 Chevy II...
