Car Auction is more than a week
away, but the folks with the
event have partnered with five
restaurants around the Valley to
help kick-start the excitement.
"We wanted to reach the cities
outside of Scottsdale to help
drive people to the event," says
Jaime Witczak, senior marketing
managerfor Barrett-Jackson.
"We want to reach all around the
Valley."
Gra.I).ted, that shouldn't be a
problem: Last year, more than
270,000 people attended the auc­
tion. This year, Witczak hopes
that attendance will pass the
300,000 mark. The auction will
be held Sunday, Jan. 13, through
Sunday, Jan. 20.
The restaurant promotion,
dubbed Dine and Drive In Week,
should help achieve that goal.
Here are the details.

'Each day, the event will move to a new restaurant that will feature auction­
related specials. Participating

dale, 14344 N. Scottsdale Road,
