Definitely a real event!  We had about 14 Fiats last year, many of them FLU
members.  I am the point man to get Fiat owners there FLU and Non-FLU members
alike.  Last years show (the inaugural one)had over 100 cars including 24
Lamborghini's, over 20 Ferrari's, Maserati, Fiat, Alfa, Pantera, Ducati, Vespas.

It is a great show and will support the Dave Thomas (Wendy's Founder) Foundation
for Adoption.  $10,000 was raised last year.  The show is very well supported by
Midwest Auto Group (Columbus based Ferrari/Maserati Dealership) and Nelson Auto
Group/Ohio Lamborhini (one of the nations largest Lambo dealers).

Hope to see more Fiats there this year!!!!!

George Evans, owner of Evans Automotive, a collector of some AMAZING automotive
hardware, and an all around great guy; used to take a large contingent of area
Ferrari and Lamborghini owners and their cars to the Italian Happening event in
Detroit each year. (he would regularly drive his Ferrari F40 or any one of his
Lamboghinis on the drive to Detroit, not trailer them!!)

When the Italian Happening event fizzled he decided to begin a new annual event
right here in Columbus (Dublin).  The first one was a raging success.
