Rumors!

We have been hearing some weird rumors recently, and one that keeps coming up is that people will not be allowed to BBQ or bring their own food to the Picnic! Not sure how this rumor came about but that is absolutely false! People are more than welcome to bring their own food and have always been welcome to do so.

We just ask that people be considerate and don't litter or throw their BBQ ashes on the lawn!

If you hear anything and you just aren't sure if it's true, just drop us a line at jimmyspicnic@gmail.com. Thanks!

New stuff this year

Hi all,
Some things will be a little different this year at the 22nd Annual Jimmy's Old Car Picnic, so please take a look.

- Event day is SATURDAY this year, not Sunday as in previous years. Remind your friends, especially the ones who aren't internet savvy!
- Entry fee will be $40 at the gate. We had to raise the fee this year in order to cover the costs related to the sky-high permit fees. This is not something we wanted to do but we had to so the event could continue. If you can't afford the fee, please come out anyways as a spectator and enjoy the event.
- Year limit changed to 1980 and older. Please be aware that the year limit will be strictly enforced. The SFPD & Park Police will issue citations for traffic and parking violations.
- Super-sized vehicles. If you have a bus or anything large like this that you'd like to enter, please contact us for more information: jimmyspicnic@gmail.com

Thanks for your support and please keep checking back for updates!

GREAT NEWS!

Dear friends,

We are happy to let you know that YES, Jimmy’s 22^nd Annual Old Car Picnic WILL be held this year! Please save the date for SATURDAY, October 16, 2010, Speedway Meadow, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco!

This year brings some changes. Jimmy and his family have stepped back from organizing the event and have handed it over to a very capable group of friends--car people who have attended the Picnic for many years. Jimmy & family will be advisors to this new team

- Note that the Picnic will be held on a Saturday, not Sunday, as in years past.

- SF Rec & Park raised our permit fees through the roof! The admission fee for this year’s Picnic will change and we’ll let you know how much it will be once it is confirmed.

- We are also looking for sponsors! If you know of a business that would like some exposure at this great event, just drop us a line.

- If you are interested in volunteering on the day of the event, please let us know.

- We’ll keep you posted with any other changes!

Our team has worked extremely hard to keep this tradition alive and we thank you all for your support! We’re looking forward to October 16 and hope you are too.

Thanks to all!

Jimmy's Old Car Picnic team
