Will we get a confirmation as to being registered or what is the process.

Had a blast this year and the years before
March 26, 2017
I signed up for the car show last year but was unable to bring my car back from Arizona to display it. I will be able to bring it back this time and was wondering if the fee I paid last year and did not get back a refund carry forward to this years show? Either way what about an application to attend.

I know this is a kid friendly environment. I also noticed that it’s in the Noah’s Ark Parking lots correct? Do you know if Noah Ark will be open that weekend and is there parking specifically for only Noah Ark Parking? Or is it a first come first serve type ordeal..
