Pinto/Bobcat Fans,
The Ohio Get Together is back!!
Well, if you missed "The Stampede" in Dearborn, don't fret! You can still have some Pinto/Bobcat fun before summer is over. If you made it to "The Stampede", let's do it again!
We are planning a "Pinto Picnic" pitch-in on Sat. Aug. 23rd, 2014 at the Geneva Township Park with a beautiful Lake Erie setting in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio 45 miles east of Cleveland. MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! We will provide the hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, ketchup, mustard, relish, tomatos, onions, lettuce, paper plates, and eating utensils. Pinto/Bobcat owners with a car ending in an even year bring a dessert and those with Pintos/Bobcats ending in an odd year bring a cold side dish or snacks (no electricity). A large pavilion with grills has been reserved just behind the displayed cars in the park.
Bring your own beverages.
If you have never heard of or have never been to Geneva-on-the-Lake, you will want to see this! It's like driving thru a strip of restaurants, bars, shops, amusement rides and gaming from the 1950s and 1960's right on the beautiful backdrop setting of Lake Erie. "The Strip" is packed with visitors in the summer and we will show the cars at the park just a 2-3 minute walk from 'The Strip'... ..fun for the whole family!
Bonus #1 We have invited the Maverick/Comet Club International (MCCI) who will be joining us as guests for their Ohio Meet.
Bonus #2: In case you haven't had enough.... We will leave the park at 4pm and caravan to Annabelle's Diner in Mentor, Ohio, 28 miles west on I-90 where there is a very well attended cruise-in at a super cool 50's diner with local band for our evening activity.
Bonus #3: We have secured a police escort to get us thru "The Strip" to the park
Bonus #4: Just Added!!!! Our own Jim Madison from Missouri will be coming with DJ equipment to DJ the show. He is also bringing item to raffle for the Wounded Warrior Project. Very Cool!!! Thanks Jim!!!!!
This exciting event will begin at the "Chops Grille and Taphouse" parking lot across from the Motel 6 at "Geneva S.R. 534" (exit #218) off I-90 at 10am and we will leave in caravan style at 10:30am.
We will caravan 5-6 miles to town thru "The Strip" to the park. This should be quite the spectacle:
Pintos/Bobcats and Mavericks, and Comets, Oh my! Door prizes, dash plaques, t-shirts, music, all the usual fun!
This is a don't miss!!!!! Rain or Shine!!
Supporting the Wounded Warrior Project.

Hey Rob,
It's gotta go right for me this time to get the 80 Pinto back on the road. Count me in. Nothing like a road trip in August. Hopefully I can complete the task this year & not have Murphy's Law bite me like in years past.
-
Hey Matt,
Really hoping Murphy doesn't show up for you!!
Should be a good show. The Maverick/Comet Club is really excited about this event. I have been working closely with them. Geneva-on-the-Lake is a really cool place. Will be alot of fun. See ya there.

Thanks to all who came yesterday to the The Ohio Get Together Pinto Picnic Pitch-in in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio yesterday!!!
We had 27 cars between the Pintos/Bobcats and Mavericks/Comets!!
Thanks to all who came from distances including Guy and Brenda Walker from Jersey Shores, PA 6 hours away, Ken and Cheryl Hall from Ithaca, NY, Tommy and Brenda from Dayton, and our awesome DJ Jim Madison from Illinois. Thanks to Jim for bringing his '76 sedan which is the 2nd lowest mileage Pinto in existence with 905 miles!!
We were blessed with great weather at the show and at the cruise-in at Annabelles Diner in Mentor, Ohio in the evening where the Pinto presence was recognized by the live band.
We had a police escort with lights and sirens thru Geneva-on-the-Lake which caused quite a stir in town.
There was plenty to eat for all.
We raised a little less than $500 for the Wounded Warrior Project!!
Everyone loved the idea of a dual meet with the Maverick/Comet Club International (MCCI) and we enjoyed comparing the cars.
Look for the U-Tube video being produced of the "rolling" part of the show mixed with some still slides of the cars and folks who attended. Look for the U-Tube address on this posting.
And in case you missed it........ we plan to do it again next year with Mavericks and Comets!! Dates to be announced soon.

I am sorry for anyone that was unable to come to thisgathering. It was a special event. I would like to thank Rob for his exceptional effort in making this happen, Also EVERYONE who helped. Thanks to the Comet& Maverick club for coming. Your cars brought back a lot of memories of the several Mavericks & Comets that I have owned in years gone by. It was a pleasure to meet & talk with you. Keep up the good work. Dick Mathias aka "Postalpony"
-
Had a great time. Thanks for welcoming the Pa neighbors to Ohio. Look forward to next year. Special thanks to folks for all the work in planning this event, it was flawless. Also thank you to the donor of the PCAA gifts, Guy is very excited about his new clock and stuff.
-
Stay tuned for the U-tube video of the show to some "really interesting" Pinto music being professionally produced, pictures, and a special announcement teaser regarding next year's show that will be presented all at once. Give us about a week to put it together.
Rob

Rob, thanks for an awesome weekend! Your energy and enthusiasm for this event is outstanding. The drive through Geneva-on-the-Lake while watching the reaction of the people will not be forgotten! Attending the cruise in at Annabelle's Diner in Mentor afterwards was a great idea and an excellent way to wind up an awesome day.
We thought that the township park was an excellent setting for this event and we look forward to next year. Can't wait to see the video ;D .
