Morristown European Car Show: There were mixed feelings about this year s show, held for the first time in Downtown Morristown. It was felt that, if this venue is to be used again, then more gaps should be scheduled in the music program so the Mic Maestros aka Jim & John can build up interest in the Silent Auction and walk around the show talking to participants about their cars.
