Invitation and Welcome - Mayor Danny Jones
The Charleston Boulevard Rod Run and Doo Wop is preparing for our fourth annual gathering October 1 – 4, 2009. After an effective introduction in 2006 and successful shows in 2007 and 2008 we continue this new proud tradition. The 2008 show attracted over 700 cars that lined the Boulevard along the Kanawha River during the Rod Run and Doo Wop last fall. Thousands upon thousands of people came to look at the beautiful cars, watched the magnificent fireworks, listened to the free concerts, watched the burnout contests and the many other events during the four days of the show.
Our success over the past three years could not have been achieved without you, the classic cars lovers and sponsors. This year, as word of this special event spreads on the Speed TV network and other venues, we expect even more car owners and spectators to come to Charleston from throughout the United States and Canada.
I thank the sponsors who have made this event possible. Many of you were on board before you had a chance to witness the huge crowds that have come to this event. With growing interest and swelling crowds, sponsors will continue to reap the benefits of their advertising. I also thank the car owners who come to our city. I should warn you though, that this event is growing so fast you will need to pre-register or show up early to make sure you get a space on the Boulevard. Space is limited, although there are not limits to your potential fun, excitement and sponsorship benefits.
Together, we are making the Charleston Boulevard Rod Run and Doo Wop an annual classic.
See you there!
