SATURDAY’S RAIN AND DAMP COOL WEATHER MAY HAVE DAMPENED ENTHUSIASM FOR ENTRY PARTICIPATION IN THE ANNUAL PORT AUSTIN CAR FEST. SHORTLY AFTER 1 PM, WORKERS AT THE REGISTRATION BOOTH REPORTED 21 CARS HAD SIGNED UP FOR THE EVENT. LAST YEAR, THERE WERE 100. THE REGISTRANTS INCLUDED AT LEAST 11 CORVETTES FROM THE NORTH OAKS CORVETTE CLUB OF OAKLAND COUNTY. EXCEPT FOR THE PROBABLE IMPACT OF THE WEATHER, THEY KNEW OF NO OTHER REASON FOR THE APPARENT DROP. REGISTRATIONS WERE STILL BEING ACCEPTED FOR THE SHOW WHICH WAS SCHEDULED TO START AT 2 PM. THE MAIN SITE WAS A LARGE LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAKE AND STATE STREETS OCCUPIED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING BY PORT AUSTIN FARMERS MARKET AND IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL VENDORS HAD PACKED UP AFTER THE 1 PM CLOSING TIME. THE CORVETTE CLUB SET UP ITS SIGN AND CAR DISPLAY ON THE EAST SIDE OF LAKE STREET DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE REGISTRATION BOOTH.
