THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!
For many years it has taken many dedicated people to make our show the success it is. I want to give a very SPECIAL THANK YOU to all the Shell Show Committee Chairs. Without their dedication and hard work it would have been impossible to put on such a magnificent show. Also, to our entire Veteran Volunteer Members who help before, during and after the show. Thank you to them for completing the many tasks needing someone to do at the show. Another important element of our show is our vendors. Their support of our show makes it possible for us to have such an outstanding show. THANK YOU!
This will be one of our most well attended, profitable and memorable shows. All made possible by the great publicity, support and donations by club members or other individuals. THANKS TO ALL AND LOOKING FORWARD TO 2021!!
