4 Sparks Elementary School Display, Frisco, TX - 7-9 pm our local elementary is holding a Sock Hop to help the kids study for the upcoming TAKS test. The theme is the 50s. The kids will dress in 50s gear, listen to 50s music and even have a dance contest to The Twist. As part of the festivities, we’d love to have some vintage cars on hand so the kids can have their pictures made beside the cars. To set the mood, we’d like to have the cars outside the school when the kids get out at 3 pm. If anyone has a couple of hours free and a fun car to share with our kids, please contact me ASAP. The kids would love it and the parents would be eternally grateful! Of course, your club is welcome to advertise at the event.  Contact

24-27 The 36th annual Pate Swap Meet will be held on the paved surface outside the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, on April 24 through April 27, 2008. The Pate Swap Meet, one of the three largest swap meets in the country, has more than a quarter of a century history of auto swap meets and is recognized internationally for its diversity of automotive products offered by its vendors. Vendors from across the country will fill the vast acreage with everything automotive -- from cars to hard-to-find car parts and related items.
The Pate Swap Meet is the fund raising effort of seventeen Texas antique automobile clubs. The first swap meet held by this organization took place on the grounds of the Pate Museum of Transportation in 1973. This event grew tremendously during the 26 years that it was held on the grounds surrounding the museum. Changes in the long term usage of much of this property forced the swap meet to seek a new location. In 1998, the Pate Swap Meet moved to the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. These new facilities provide ample parking for all visitors to the swap meet, easy access to and from Interstate 35, unlimited space for camper parking during the event, and a vast amount of paved space for the swap meet to expand in the future.
26 Cleburne’s Spring Fest Car Show 11:00 till 3:00 pm 1 blk North of Court House on Main Street. This is a Big Town event with Arts, crafts, games, carnival rides, Ducky Derby, Vendors of all kids and then the Great Spring Fest Car Show sponsored by Lone Star Crysler and Jeep of Cleburne.
