Putting the brakes on a longtime event
Very disapointing. I believe this event was one-of-a-kind and brought a lot of attention to Bixby Knolls. [“Bixby Knolls car show cancelled this year to expand series of events in 8th District,” Feb. 1, 2013]
Not only did you have a wide range of all types of quality cars, you had the one ingredient that others do not have, the “Cackle Fest.” People, including many locals [whom] I had the opportunity to talk with, came to see and hear cars they had only heard about.
The other events you mentioned— art walk, concert in the park and such— are common in almost all cities during the summer.
Although I do not live in or near Long Beach, I do wish you the best for Bixby Knolls.
