OK, Let me be more specific,
Is anyone willing to host and coordinate such an event?
Or better, does anyone have the room to host such an event?

If no one is willing/able to act as host, does anyone have experience running such an event at a public venue? My Ford IDI diesel buddies had a gettogether in Lancaster County area of PA a few years ago. We did a tour of several covered bridges in the area. It was a delightful drive.

Seeing that most people would want a stay-over type of gig, I would think a nice hotel type setting would be good place. Lot's of food and drink, and with a big parking lot. Nice rural kinda place with some scenic country roads. Many hotels would welcome such an event, especially on a scheduled slow weekend. Might cost a few bucks, but hey what doesn't.

Hey! Weren't we supposed to have another one last fall?

This might be a good time to get one organized for spring/early summer - I'd rather not do one in the middle of summer, unless there's shade and beer (and some of those girls from the pretty girls thread)



For those further up the coast: A good amount of hotels have facilities for small banquets/shows - not sure what the cost is though - probably less during the off season.
