The inaugural New England Concours d\u2019Elegance, scheduled for June 17-18 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, and sponsored by Barrett-Jackson, will set the stage for the company\u2019s 2nd Annual Northeast Auction, which will take place the following weekend, June 22-24.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are extremely grateful to all those who supported our inaugural Northeast Auction last year,\u201d said HYPERLINK “https:\/\/www.barrett-jackson.com\/Company\/Home\/ExecutiveBiographies#craigjackson”Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. \u201cThe electricity generated at last year\u2019s record-setting event was unforgettable. This year, we decided to build on that high energy by creating even more collector car activities for the whole family, first by serving as the presenting sponsor of the New England Concours d\u2019Elegance, and by continuing with our Northeast Auction.\u201d<\/p>\n
