Thank you for joining us on our 40th Anniversary. Bill Miller and Chip Miller WMy name is Tim DeMark and I am honored to be the event manager for Spring and Fall Carlisle. Carlisle Events all started with Bill and Chip Miller, two young automotive enthusiasts sharing a dream and making it a realization in 1974. With ambition, determination and focus these two automotive icons created the most exciting and diverse collector car swap meet and car corral in the country. They revolutionized collector car enthusiast events and their families and staff continue to work for you with the same passion and respect as they did from the start. We recognize how important each one of you are to Carlisle Events. Whether you are a vendor, spectator, manufacturer, showfield or auction Car Corral 1989 (unpaved aisles) participant, we encourage you to share your passion of the hobby with new enthusiasts to help the collector car market grow and continue for genera- tions to come. We are pleased to have you in the Carlisle family. We’ve heard countless stories from people who have built lifelong relationships through their common interest in coming to our events. We hope to hear many more! Some things only get better with time; Carlisle Events is one of them. Beginning with one show in 1974 and now producing 14 events, it’s easy to see we all have something to cherish for a lifetime. Please contact me directly with questions, observations, thoughts, ideas or to book space at any of our events. Thank you again for your participation.
