The weather was perfect on Saturday, September 17, 2011 in Richmond, California at the Craneway Pavilion. B.O.B. was one of only four electric conversions. Most of the vehicles were factory produced, and most were hybrids. Very disappointing. This is the only indoor event that we have done, at least no sun screen needed.
The public attendance was low, not sure if it was the location or the lack of promotion.
Out of all the shows that B.O.B. has attended, he was
touched the most at this show. I got tired of saying please do not touch the car. One gal even opened the door and was going to sit in the car. I asked her if it was her car, she said no, I told her it was mine and to please not touch. Some people just do not have a clue.
That's right, B.O.B. received an award for being the "Coolest EV" at the 39th Annual EV Show and Rally in Palo Alto, California on Saturday, September 24, 2011. But those who know B.O.B. already knew he is the Cooolest. Approximately 40 Electric Vehicles were on hand for the Event which featured free rides in Teslas, and the T-Zero. Plus there were factory EVs on display also, such as the Nissan Leaf. The weather was perfect this year, but show attendance was down, as there were a lot of other events going on locally. Sunday on the way home, it rained, getting the truck and trailer 
filthy, fortunately B.O.B. was tucked away clean and dry. The Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield is a must stop, the down side, I ate a pound of jelly beans before the day was over.
