Let's see, is it not enough that we give away 3 bicycles at our show? Is it not enough that we give away $175 cash in our Poker Run? Well lets try a third one? How about we give away a $50 bill to the Best of Show Bicycle, $50 bill to the Best of Show Ride-On and a $50 Bill to the Best Thinking Outside the Box Award? Now . . . . . have I got you wanting to come yet?

We want you to experience GET-A-GRIP Inc. and we are pulling out all the stops to get you to come. We are nonprofit and the proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. 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!
