Clayton Cars & Coffee Family,
I want to be completely transparent with everyone about the future of this event.
Monthly expenses have continued to rise, especially after last month’s shenanigans. Cars leaving the event got out of hand, and unfortunately, law enforcement didn’t show up to attend as previously planned.
To be honest, I seriously considered ending Clayton Cars & Coffee. However, I’m going to give this event one more big push because I believe in what we’ve built together. This is literally our last and only venue to have this event.
These are the exact monthly expenses required to host the event:
• Park Rental: $150
• Event Insurance: $140
• Police Presence: $300 (2 officers for 3 hours at $150 per officer)
• Private Security: $100
Total Monthly Cost: $690
We are fortunate to have sponsors, and we appreciate every single one of them. However, the park limits us to only 3 vendors per event, which makes it difficult to provide setup space for everyone who wants to promote their business. We always try to find creative ways to support our sponsors despite these limitations.
To all current and future sponsors: please have an active social media presence and/or a website if you would like us to help promote your business. A logo alone is not enough for effective promotion.
Moving forward, we will be accepting additional sponsors and community donations to help keep Clayton Cars & Coffee alive and growing.
To the residents near the event, we appreciate your patience and support. We understand the concerns regarding noise, and we will continue to do our best to keep noise levels down and ensure everyone leaves the event respectfully.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support this event. We wouldn’t be here without you, and with your support, we can keep this community going strong.
If you’d like to become a sponsor or make a donation, please send us a message.
