With the planning of Fest 04, anticipating growth of attendance and vendor participation, organizers booked a larger hall to enjoy the festivities.

Also new to 04 were several new Cars to be associated with Lightning fest. Some to be sold in order to offset event costs, and some to be given away to participants and organizers.

These new cars were:

• Lightning Fest Pace Car

• Lightning Fest Thank You Car

• Lightning Fest Halloween Car

• Lightning Fest Holiday Car(s)
