Too Low’s in Love

"It doesn't take too much to make Hot Rodders happy.....a nice Saturday morning cruise with your pals, a FREE car show in a great park, a free ball cap and dash plaque....all these things are a part of what makes the Bluebonnet Festival Car Show a hit in it's 6th year.

There were about 150 cars this year to keep the guys busy and some great shopping in nearby Downtown Burnet for the ladies. There were also plenty of the wildflowers that this show is named for along the way. I am proud to say that I haven't missed any of the shows here in the past and don't plan on missing any in the future! After all, it doesn't take too much to make me happy!"  Richard "Too Low" Haas
