​🛑 SCAM ⚠️ ALERT🛑
It has come to our attention that there is someone trying to scam our vendors for the upcoming Rod Run Event. Please do not be fooled by these people reaching out to you for vendor applications and fees. The only person you should correspond with is Jim Gruver.

We do not have others working to fill vendor spots. Please, if you have a question, reach out to Jim directly by phone or email prior to sending payments. We do not request any online payments for vendors, and car registration can only be completed through our website or by handwritten forms delivered or mailed to Jim Gruver at Cabinet Connections.

Don't fall for this SCAM!
​
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.
