2012 Mobile Tech Expo Orlando Car Show
As you all know we will be at the Mobile Tech Expo in January, they will be doing a Car Show this year for the first time! I would love to get some of our forum members to participate especially if you were planning on coming out and visiting us or attending one of Mike’s classes.
The show is very close to Disney so you can drop the kids off and come on over for the day!
There will be some great 50/50 Drawings and lots of fun to be had. You will get two admission tickets to Mobile Tech when you register for the show!
Look forward to seeing you all there! Money raise for the car show will benefit the Larry King Cardiac Foundation.
