If you are a fan of Ford Mustangs, the Mustangs at the Island car show is a Must attend show. The 3-day annual show is held at Treasure Island Casino just south of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and attracts around 300 Mustangs from every era of the cars production. The show schedule includes a driving experience with Gary Curtis, a cruise, poker run, movie night, and many other activities to keep the participants active all weekend long.
The club that hosts the show, The Lake Country Mustang Club, uses the Middletwin suite for managing membership, and used the Middletwin car show software to manage the car show.
They started by setting up the show in Middletwin, with the dates and show description. Since all the cars would be Ford Mustangs, setting up makes and models was easy, however if they had more, it would not have been difficult to setup. And with Middletwin you can even let the participant manually enter their make and model rather than defining a list to choose from.
Since the car show portion of the event is held in the casino parking lot, the club decided to set sections of the parking lot up as classes in Middletwin and created “placeholder” registrations for all available spaces in the parking lot. Then, when a car would arrive and be parked, the car would be entered into the placeholder registration.
Onsite, doing the car show, Middletwin provided 3 chromebooks for volunteers to use to enter in participant details as they arrived, and a printer to print out voting results. Voting was open from 12:30 to 2:30 on Saturday and the show used Middletwin’s new mobile voting, providing one time use QR codes to all participants. This allowed the vote to be entered by the participants, and allowed the show to be able to be able to print out the voting results at 2:30, the moment voting closed.
Simple and flexible setup along with mobile voting really took away the stress from the club volunteers when it came to the car show management, and ran smoother than it ever had in past years.
