6000 Power Big Meet “vanity” license plates will be given out “for free” Friday July 4 and Saturday July 5. Fist come first served! 1 per car coming in through the gates. The plates are mega value according to the collector market. The 2014 “theme” is Las Vegas. Beware of the fact that attempts to beat the “1 plate per car rule” may result in exclusion from the show. We give away these plates as a nice souvenir from Power Big Meet. Also read the info on the license plates in the menu.
