The main thing when doing an interview is to make sure you have in your head (or in Jeannie's head) the key points you want to get across. If it were my event my outline would look something like this.
I. About 928 Specialists
A. What a 928 is, how you help the 928 community, how long have we been around
B. What drew us to this part of North Carolina
C. The types of customers you have
II. About the event
A. Background to the event (don't say anything bad about GF Mtn)
B. Move to Beech Mountain
C. How supportive the Beech Mountain people have been - This is where you name names! VERY IMPORTANT!
D. Estimated economic impact on the region - 100 cars, 150 people, selling out the Best Western, etc.
That's probably too much right there. Keep it short and punchy. The part about the economic impact will probably make the sound bite and win over the NIMBY's (Not In My Back Yard).
BTW, I like the idea of Jeannie doing it. She's a hell of a lot more attractive than you, sorry.

Think about the worst possible questions you could be asked and come up with (non-)answers that get your message across.
For instance, anticipate butt-headed questions like:
"Isn't it dangerous to have this many high-powered exotic cars driving up and down our narrow roads at illegally-fast speeds?"
"So, how many tickets does your group rack up on a weekend of joyriding like this?"
You probably won't get asked questions like that, but if you are prepared for them the actual questions will be a breeze.
Sample answers to the above: Ummm..... I can't think of any. If I could, I'd run for office. Sorry.

We're trained from birth to answer questions, but it is not at all necessary
P.S. Dave, the passenger seat in a 928 is actually quite roomy, just get someone else to drive your car!!
