[n8marx]

The German Car Fest car show and picnic is this Saturday, June 7th at Schaar's Bluff in Spring Lake Park Reserve in Hastings. Gates open at 9am. Lunch is served beginning at 11.

Who's going? Anyone interested in a caravan down from the southern metro?

Nate,
Me and my brother are going. He is meeting at my house, Hopkins, around 9 or 10am. We can meet you some where on the way.

I would like to look at a map and try and fit in the Welch road on the way down.

Anyone else?

I'm going down but have to get there earlier because I'm thinking about entering my car in the competetion. Hope to see the two of you there. I know Dan is planning on being there if he can get his car running, John was going over to see if he could fix it tonight.

Hey guys - never attended this event, just wanting more details. What are the contest categories? Is there a parts swap?

Sounds pretty cool, hope the rain stays away. Thanks.

The gates open at 9am for the car show registration. Car show itself runs from 10am to 3pm. There will be different tech sessions running throughout the show, as well as some automotive fine art on display. Trophies will be awarded at 1pm for each marque, based on people's choice. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Volkswagon will be represented. Nothing about a parts swap is listed on the event schedule. If you need directions to the show, or want a copy of the schedule, send me a private message with your fax # and I'll get it to you tomorrow.

Weather report says tomorrow is supposed to be the best day of the weekend. Should be a great day.

Joe, I am checking out a ruote for getting to Welch Village Road on the way, or out of the way, to Hastings. You figure anything out yet?

[85eurocarrera]

I dont know what I was thinking. Welch is a ways south of Hastings. I dont know if it is reasonable to do it?

We could still meet in the morning and decide. What time do you want to get to the park? I will see when my brother wants to get there, and post later...

I was noticing the same thing. Quite a bit out of the way. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be a fun road to head to after the show or another weekend.

My wife will be going with me. She won't be too excited about showing up at 9 and staying until 3. I was thinking of trying to get there around 10 or so and then probably take off after I've seen it all and have eaten a few brats.

My hubby Tim is still thinking of going. Say "hi" if you see him by our car. (He is a stocky guy with brn hair & eyes).

I am meeting my bro at 9:30 at my house. Then heading south on hwy 100 to 494. 494 to 52 south to the show, around 10 - 10:30. If you want to hook up somewhere along the route lets talk. I know you are coming from the south and not sure if its out of the way for you. Maybe a coffe shop or something? Otherwise We will look for you there. This is the same way I go to Welch, via 52. We could leave the show jump on 52 and maybe another 20-30 minutes to welch, hit the road once or twice and head home after that. Now if it is raining these plans are toast. :-)

There is a Starbucks at 494 and Penn. Or the Bruegger's Bagels on the other side of the freeway? Say 10 o'clock?

[85eurocarrera]

Starbucks, 10 o'clock sounds good. North or south side of 494? We will see you there.

South side. Across Penn from Target. See you at 10.
