2011 Orlando FL GtG in Old Town planning thread

SCHEDULING UPDATE

Old Town Orlando/Kissimmee GtG

Saturday Feb 12th, 2010

Old Town Kissimmee FL

Old Town's website: CLICK HERE

Shonnel and I have been throwing around the idea of having a Central FL GtG, to be held in Old Town, which is in Kissimmee.


Old Town is a pretty cool hangout, with a flair for the old school- an old style midway, along with a smattering of classic cars. There's plenty of shops and restaurants to please everybody of every age.

More info on Old Town can be found on their website- CLICK HERE

This GtG is gonna happen, even if it's just Shonnel (Joey) and I (Valerie). We hope you all will join us.

This is a family-oriented, non-competition GtG

This GtG is a new beetle-centered GtG BUT ALL VW's (water and air-cooled) AND AUDIS ARE VERY MUCH WELCOME TO ATTEND so represent!!!

And we have at least one confirmation of a Porsche joining us- BRING IT!!!

ALL BUGOPHILES: hit the pavement and lets get some beetles to attend.


At this time there is one caravan heading down from Jacksonville to Orlando AND a Tampa bugavan, headed up by Jason/Severe. Anyone wanting to bugavan with Jason hit him up with a PM as well as post here on this thread.

Hope to see you in February

Remember, this is still in the planning stages. Although I said this is happening in mid January, things could change.

If you can't make this GtG, maybe you can make it to ToD in May.

Val and I are planning on making it up there in February, so we'll see you then.

Like you Michelle, i'm hoping to get the locals more involved into the GtG scene, and hopefully involved in making the road trips to other SE GtG's.

[Severe]

I haven't heard anything from Shonnel yet. So if I get no word by Friday, how does the last Saturday in January sound?

Glad you asked

Well gang it looks like we're gonna do this GtG the 2nd Saturday in February, which is February, 12, 2011.

If you know anything about Old Town, it has shops as well as old tyme amusement rides, along with it's assortment of restaurants. So it's safe to say that we're good for eats while in Old Town.

Next question is, would you all like to do a cruise in to Old Town or just show up?

Also would you all like to do anything else while there? Vern mentioned that there's a vintage auto show happening that same weekend. If you guys would like, we could go there and check things out.

Whatever we plan, I'd kinda like to keep it on the lo-dough side. Val and I will be going down Friday night and staying for the weekend, so we'll be on a quasi-tight budget.

There's no admission to Old Town, so just show up, piddle around and enjoy the company of fellow orgers and their beetles. Maybe Des will give us rides in his Boxster....Just kidding mang

BTW, what time do you all want to fire things up?
