Can you name the first...

...year we held Bug-a-Paluza at Camp Jordan? (Bonus question: where was it held before?)

...year we added water-cooled classes?

...year we moved the car show to the parking lot?

...year the Ronald McDonald House became our official show beneficiary?

2006 it moved from the grass to the parking lot aka mud-a-paluza.....

bap 3 was the first at camp jordan

I'm gonna say that we picked up RMH in 2007 because I remember mud-a-paluza and the old men were asking for cans or something at the gate.

Judging by the photo below, I'd say that water cooled was pre-mud-a-paluza, so maybe 2004?

I was going to guess Fielding as the Enthusiast of the year, but I looked up the nominations and they were: "The Nominees are, Lee Dixon, Dave Easterwood, Kathy Jacobs, Zen Hendricks, Jake Raby, Mike Crisp, Neil Pickett, George Rymer, Jeanie Brumley, Jack Frost, Ermal Washham. Tom Underwood has declined his nomination for this year."
So that means it was Zen Hendricks!!!

Oh, and water-cooled classes were added for Bug-a-Paluza 6 (2004) And Bug-a-Paluza 9 (2007) was the first year we partnered with the Ronald McDonald House.

The first two years were at the dealership (according to the article)

Just to clairify one detail . . . we always had a few water-cooled classes.  Bug-A-Paluza 6 is when we really expanded the classes and added the Water-Cooled Best Of awards.  Up until then, if you had a water cooled, you could win a class trophy, but you were pretty much out of the running for a Best Of.
