We are excited to announce that our Grand Marshal for the 2008 Ault Park Concours d'Elegance is none other than Janet Guthrie.  In 1977, she became the first woman to qualify for and compete in the Indianapolis 500; she was also first woman and Top Rookie at the Daytona 500 in the same year.

It is with the deepest sadness, that we must tell of the untimely passing of one of our committee members. On Saturday February 16th, Will Sherman was killed in a tragic accident. Will has served as the chair of our Art show for the past few years. Although Will was one of our youngest committee members, his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm for the Concours would belie his years. Will’s mother and father, Gayle and Bill have been intimately involved with the Concours for many years and Will literally grew up with the event. Will’s presence will be sorely missed by us all, his tireless efforts have been a major contribution to the success of our event. We are sure we speak for everyone involved with the Concours when we extend our most heart felt condolences to the Sherman family in this time of great loss.
