??? An Incredible Value (Sponsored by the Club!)
To celebrate our community and make this day accessible to everyone, the club is heavily subsidizing the cost. While the actual value of this event is much higher, tickets are just:
?? $25 per person (Includes venue access, catered lunch, live entertainment, and entry into all activities!), Kids 12 and under are free to come.
?? Registration is Required!
We want to break our attendance records this year, but we need an accurate headcount for catering and venue space.
Don't wait—secure your spot today and let's make this the biggest turnout the North Texas Chapter has ever seen! Come for the cars, stay for the music, and enjoy the unmatched camaraderie of your fellow members.
