Who can do the 31st of August? No location yet, will decide in June for the location. If location matters when you are available, let me know.

 

I also dont want you guys to miss out on a gtg just cause you wanna move it for me. If the 31st dont work Ill try to hit the next year.

 

Anytime in there sounds good, the last one was a lot of fun!

PS: I brought my truck, it was hiding behind the mustangs

 

I've got to decide pretty soon, in a month or so to reserve a park if we are going to do that. If there are any other suggestions, please post before the middle of June.

 

I can do any day as long as its after 2pm

 

lets do it!!! ill keep an eye on the date and hopefully I can make it. My schedule varies week to week so when its the week before I can make the call. It would be great to come meet some of my fellow ford family members!!

 

Hi guys

I'll have something very soon for our get together. I hoped to have something sooner but I am jobless (jobless people are some of the busiest I know). But you guys are my priority and I'd love to have some fun with everyone.

 

This sounds good. Sorry Ive been away for a bit. I may or may not have my truck though, my Mercury should be done and get better fuel economy.

 

OK everyone, the time is here to make some decisions and for that I need some information from you. I'll decide in a week so please give me your input as soon as you read this...


First, the good news...

I previously mentioned there would be $0 for beer, that's still true. BUT, I do have some *cough* left over beer from last year we can recycle.

One addition to the original invite: If you know someone who owns a Ford but isn't a member here, you can invite them. But they can't invite anyone since they aren't a member of the CO chapter (the greatest ford-trucks chapter that ever lived). Obviously, your family/SO is welcome to come with you or a friend but let's keep this to a FORD TRUCK turnout. I'm also going to try to get a banner here from the web site.

OK, as for when and where...

I know we discussed Aug 31. I've looked at the calendar and this is Labor Day weekend, which I don't think will be good for a turnout. But I still want your input...

Does Aug 31 st work better for you or Sept 7?

Give me in put on those two dates please.

As for the place...there are some pros and cons. A park is a nice idea. I went to two of the parks that I would have this at and checked them out. Both places offer several shade trees, some tables, and basic amenities.

The first park, Acacia Park (aka North Park) in downtown CoS, is not as nice as Antler's Park near downtown. We can't rent out Acacia so it's first come, first served as for tables and the areas we would want. We can reserve Antler's Park, it is very nice, in a quiet area, has MANY covered tables and bathrooms.

Both parks do not allow any fires for cooking and there is no drinking in public.

That being said, the choices for where we have this are:

in a park?

at my house (like last year)?

The number of people who tell me they are coming will help me decide what park to get, if we go that route.


***---------------------------------***
To summarize, please let me know your preference:

Where:When:and how many you plan on bringing.

 

Currently open for any of those dates and locations as of now.
Also - I'll be calling you shortly about that PM. Been a busy weekend.

 

RIKIL: How about both? Start off at a park to meet up and check out everyones ride then drive to your house for grub and booze... oh and burnouts LOL

There are several other parks other than busy/ghettobum Acaica park that are centrally located. Palmer Park, Wasson Park, Hillside Park, Prospect Lake

I don't have any friends who are a member of FTE. But everyone who came with me last year DOES own a F series truck (or two). I'll prob bring my gf this year, she doesn't even own a ford, though. :|

Anything works for me.

 

Where:

Park then to your house

When:

August or September works as long as its after 3:00pm I can do either.

There will be me plus my wife and another friend.

 

August 31 would be much better than Sept 7 for me. on Sept 7 I have to go play army, and won't be able to come out and play... where, however doesn't matter so much!

 

Thank everyone for the responses, I got several PMs as well as the responses here.

So here's how it's going to go down:

Who: You and trucks
What: Meet in the city, take a short drive, go to my house for the 'fun' part
Where: Colorado Springs, my house address to follow
When: Saturday, September 7 @ 3 PM


Schedule:

1. 3 PM - meet at Garden of the Gods park (when I figure out where we can park all our trucks, I'll give a specific location - I don't think they want us all at the visitor's center). We'll hang out here for a bit in the open space and attract attention from any chevy drivers (a.k.a 'punks' ).
2. 3:20 - 3:30 - Surprise
3. 3:30 - Take a drive through Garden of the Gods
4. 3:45 - 4:00 - Go to my house and "Make some fun"

As I did last time, I will provide some food but I will also have the grill going if you want to bring something of your own to cook.

As for drinks, I will have soft drinks and some beer - oh, and there's always whiskey at the house

I have plenty of space for everyone so I don't think any chairs are needed.

Kids are welcome, just as last time.

Did I miss anything?

 

Works for me. Might be a little late but just need someones number to find out where everyone is
