Too Dang Small
From the Fairplex flack:
Fairplex rolls out the red carpet for the Inland Empire Auto Show, the newest addition to the Fairplex year-round calendar of events. The show will make its debut on March 30 through April 3, 2005. The 15th annual auto show will highlight more than 35 lines of domestic and foreign vehicles in Fairplex’s exhibition halls.
The show has been at the Ontario Convention Center for the last six years and has been established as one of Southern California’s largest annual public events. An average 200,000 auto enthusiasts have attended the IEAS during its five-day show over the last three years....
“We had a very successful relationship with the Ontario Convention Center,” said William A. Schultz, president of Auto Dealer Shows, Inc., the IEAS producer. “But with the continued growth of the auto industry, we just outgrew the facility. In addition to increasing the number of lines of vehicles we can exhibit, several of the current manufacturers have requested additional space. This move allows us to fulfill those requests.”
Auto Dealer Shows are headquartered in Playa Del Rey, Calif. They have produced new car exhibitions in the western United States for more than 30 years, including the New Mexico International Auto Show.
This is the second year in a row that I've missed the Auto Show. Maybe next year.
