2025 NOVA Jeepers Show & Shine and Jeep Rodeo

2025 NOVA Jeepers Show & Shine and Jeep Rodeo

Jeeps and Java, Rigs and Coffee or the next thing all take time to evolve. They also take time to organize and promote. The original Car and Coffee on the west coast is a early Saturday morning event that has been running for a very long time. It is open to the car culture at large.

An Idea:
- Perhaps this becomes a monthly or every other month event. Advertises to the community at large Jeeps, Broncos, etc. Have a Coffee and doughnut food truck or something of the like. This will take time to gather a following. Move it around!
- Another thought is Combine this with a Club meeting have you "car show" at the meeting and award some prizes in a few categories.
- invite a guest speaker to the meetings topics (something to do with our sport.).

It is pretty clear there are more than a few in the Northern VA area that work for Federal service. that means there are more than a few that are stressed out and concerned about their futures and finances. Make this a fun event, put some effort into organizing, work with the community to help balance costs. We have vendors associated with the club. How can they help?

Times in this area are pretty stressing right now. Look at how we can help folks unwind a little without breaking their banks.
 
Hey all I registered and have since traded my jeep to another jeep. Who can I contact to update my show and shine class?

Unfortunately the event for this year's had to be canceled. See here for explanation.
You will be receiving a refund of your registration fee.
 
Night meet ups could work as well. Like a Friday night at a Dairy Queen or Baskin Robbins for an hour or so through summer would be cool. After dinner but before bedtime.

We would like to host a few summer “Cruise-Ins” at our shop. The new deli opened back up with some great food, beer and wine too! We have that 10 acre lot next to the shop for plenty of parking. We could even do a few Bonfires nights!

Man that sucks about the cancelation, but I understand.
 
In recent years I believe that is correct, in the "way back time machine" it was a fund raiser. Not postive of when the change over was, but if i remember correctly it was about the same time venues started costing the club money. Previous venues had some level of cost but not the costs had at the fairgounds.
Also, in the "way back time machine" we didn't have to pay to use the Fauquier Co. Fairgrounds bc Safford Jeep of Warrenton was a longtime sponsor of the Show & Shine and they actually covered the cost of the fairground rental

Thats good to know. I know when we used the dealers lots (and grassy fields) there wasn't a fee either.

Edit... Those that don't know the Warrenton dealer was the 4th dealer we worked with over the years with the show (unless there was another one in there, that I forgot about). Most of which the reasoning for change was associated with either a change of ownership and/or management.
