This event was cosponsored by the Senior Center Advisory Committee, Youth Advisory Committee and Dublin Senior Foundation. Based on the success of the inaugural event, the Dublin Car Show Subcommittee recommended hosting a Second Annual Dublin Car Show in April 2012. In the first year, staff was responsible for providing a free "Show and Shine" car show to attract both teens and adults. The Dublin Senior Foundation, the Youth Advisory Committee and the Senior Center Advisory Committee shared the responsibility of running a concession stand and raising funds for their perspective groups. The Foundation raised approximately $300 from their hot dog sales, and the Youth raised $100 from their ice cream sale. In the first year, the Dublin Car Show registered 41 cars which drew a crowd of approximately 200 people. No teens entered a car in the Car Show. The 2012 Dublin Car Show was held at the Heritage Parks and Museum. The event attracted 100 cars, at $25 each. Additional funds were collected from the food trucks, vendor's fees and sponsors. After the event, the Dublin Senior Foundation and the Youth Assistance Fee Program each received $798. In the second year there was limited involvement from the youth outside of the YAC booth and no vehicles belonging to teens were entered. Staff recommends forming a 2013 Dublin Car Show Subcommittee to discuss the Third Annual Dublin Car Show and evaluate the intergenerational component of the show. Staff recommends that the Dublin Car Show Subcommittee would initially include two members of the Senior Center Advisory Committee, two members of the Dublin Senior Foundation, and four members of the Youth Advisory Committee. The first order of business for the Dublin Car Show Subcommittee will be to renew their interest in the event, discuss their role(s) in the event, and determine if there are better ways to support the intergenerational component. If the decision is to continue their joint involvement in the Dublin Car Show; the Dublin Car Show Subcommittee will meet once a month to prepare for the event.
