Vette(s): 1982 Chevrolet Corvette

The idea of organizing a springtime "Northeast" regional event was brought up over in C3VR Chit-Chat. We've got a ton of members in the NY/NJ/PA area! Gettysburg National Military Park is a nice driving tour. Corvette America (Reedsville PA) would be an interesting trip. Shady Maple Smorgasbord/Dutch Country (East Earl PA) is a nice destination. Any other ideas for different places, dates, activities, etc.?

Corvette America is a nice trip but they dont do tours or anything. they just have a nice shop on location. i was there for the corvette america car show this fall.

niagra falls, ny? hershey , pa? Wildwood, NJ? Go on a run to through the mountains in the new england area.

we do have the BIG BBQ that Paul has at his house each spring. we could make that bigger and maybe have it at a park near his house. i dont want to ellect his house for tons of people to show up but still keep it near him since he got all of us together two times in a row so far.

then like the other years, he takes us to a nearby cruise night and everybody hangs out with our vettes and look at the other cars as well.

PLus it is such a great feeling to see a line of vettes coming in.

Vette(s): 1978 Silver Anniversary L82 4spd (M21) Red Leather. Pace Car is in the hands of a new caretaker.

I would be willing to help out with a Northern New England event sometime. I know it's a long way for most people, but the White Mountains in New Hampshire have lots to see and do. Incredible senery and cruising roads. Lake Winnipesaukee isn't too far from there also.
Being just over an hour away, I could check out places to stay and we already know where to eat. Approve

Tax free shopping, too.
Just an though for sometime in the future, seeing how NE was mentioned.

I am up for the run sometime up there Jeff. If we could get three or four vettes to meet up then it is still fun but the more the merrier as they say.

I love it up there and the winding roads thru the mountains is definitly a fun cruise and we could stay over at some hotel/motel up that way. New england area definitly sounds like a good idea.

We could do this at one point and still have Paul's Big BBQ event at the regular time. bascially just another event for all of us Northeast members to do during the year.

This is open to everyone in the C3VR world if you are willing to drive the distance to do it. I didnt mean to make it sound like it was just the northeast group doing this. anyone can join in and we'd be happy to see you there and take part in the event whatever it may be no matter the time of year or anything.

Do we have a date for Paul's BBQ?

What month?

Saturday or Sunday?

A drive in New Hamshire would be fun too.

Vette(s): White '79 Corvette. It's a driver.

That barbeque sounds cool!

I'm open to ideas of locations in the northeast for another road trip/gathering.

My input is this;

The Finger Lakes Region in upstate N.Y. (About 1 hour South West of Syracuse - About 1 hour North of Binghampton) Beautiful scenery and winding mountain roads with views of the lakes.

Let's keep this going and see where we wind up.
