The second annual Johnny Jam is ready to take Rhode Island by storm on July 28th, and from the looks of things its going to be a blast! This small and personal event is the perfect opportunity for Johnny Lightning collectors to spend a day mixing, mingling and participating in a wide variety of special activities. Here’s some of what you can look forward to:

Goody Bags: with six – possibly seven! – diecast 1/64 cars from various brands. No two bags are the same, and the contents of those bags alone makes for some neat trading!

Customized “Event” car: the event car this year is going to be something else! Start with a beautiful looking, well detailed car; packaged in a beautiful “leave-as-it-is or take-it-out-in-it’s-enclosed-display case” blister; then send it out for a professionally applied, HT member designed logo (nobody this year can mock the Johnny Jam event car as “amateur”!).

Door Prizes: several of us have given the very best of our collections – I myself had had a terrific White Lightning year, and it will benefit every single one of you (where else are you going to have a shot at winning a Dukes of Hazard “Dirty” Gen. Lee White Lightning???). Hobby Talk members across the country are donating cars to the booty as well, and I can’t even begin to talk about the companies stepping up with cool donations of their own (Okay, let me just say that there will be a Green Machine or two there…. and a nice little package from SpecCast just arrived – rhymes with “brawler”, and don’t let your Hot Dog “roll-off” the table!). Plus we are working on some super cool, “I can’t believe they did that!” stuff. You can’t win if you don’t come!

Trading: Some of the best, “World Class”, fast and furious, “you’re looking for WHAT? I saw one over there!”, multi-party, “let’s make this deal happen!” trading. If you need one, it’s very likely going to be there (or maybe even in Dave Antonelli’s collection/museum)

Show & Tell: Bring along your most favorite, special, unique, rare, unusual, valuable things; show us all what you’ve got, and make us all green with envy as we “Oooooo” and “Aaahhhhh”

Other Activities:

- Customizing 101 seminars
- Customizing contest
