Just curious, we are the largest show of its kind in the SE USA. will you be here? We hope so and look forward to seeing you here on March 23, 2019!

David,
The G-A-G Show just keeps getting better and better!

I don’t know anyone who works harder at promoting a show that benefits such a great cause.

You are truly an awesome person.

Sadly, I don’t think I can make it this year, but I wish you and your team the best of luck !

PS, I’m also gonna miss that amazing BBQ and hot slaw....mmmmm

Had a great time as always! There were some amazing bikes there.

All I can say is THANKS! This was the Biggest and Largest event in the 8 years we have been putting this on! Yes it takes a lot of work from a lot of people but without you it can never be accomplished so we say THANKS!! As you know we put together a video of the event to be placed on Youtube and will post it here as well once it is finished. In closing the only way you will ever know is to experience this one yourself!
 
We received a big surprise as someone came to our show and made a video for the show! This is not our official video but probably should be as they did a fantastic job! We will be producing the official video but for now you enjoy this great video!!!
