I had a blast. It went pretty well for such a (comparatively) large meet and I don't know of any attendees who were disappointed.
We had 13 Festivas, 1 Aspire, 1 photo Golf, 1 support pickup truck, 1 quite largish support truck, and at least twenty people!
The cookout ran well, everyone got fed, and the raffle happened. The Ohio contingent got there at 1pm (there were already about four or five Festivas there from elsewhere) and the meet petered out naturally around 6pm. A few left a bit earlier than that.
I think we all liked the park setting. It worked well and the facilities were fine. I say we should stay there for next year. Perhaps organize an "exit cruise" around 6pm when we all leave together!! I wish I'd had more film in my camera when I led the last of us out of the park. The sight of a bunch of Festivas following mine was a sight to behold. More people should enjoy the "convoy experience." We were all quite behaved, I might add. Except for that speeding Photo Chase Golf who got to have all the fun... :twisted:
In the park, we kept fairly quiet and the Rangers who showed up just before we left didn't complain about our little photo formation, since the park was not too busy. I'm proud of you guys!
I think I can get my pictures up soon.
Ya'll have about a year to get ready for the next OhioPA Spring Fling! I'd like to shoot for twenty cars. Think we can do it?
Ohiostiva IV Fall Fling is right around the corner, but it will remain small and fairly local, though of course anyone can still come. I'll begin posting and planning for that one around mid-August, for a date in late September or October.
I'm also going to try to make the Festiva Festival so I can at least meet DJ and see one of his babies. No more rental cars for me!
Thanks for coming everyone!

It was damkid, me and him meet on route 90 and came down from there together, His name is chris, he brought his brother too, I believe his name was james. Cool guys, fun to talk to, car sounded nice too. He's hoping to have a BP in his by the end of the summer. So HELP HIM OUT B6T! He is actually near London, some town that sounds like tilt (something or other) if that helps any:-)
I am planning on making the festiva festival for sure, already have permission from the wife, just need to find out the date so i can get permission from the boss. Shouldn't be a problem, and as long as pimptiva is well it should be good.
Got my new mount too going to mount the engine secure today, wire it up and make the template for the passengerside mount, maybe even have that made by today. Plan on a start THURSDAY! Crossing fingers, toes, and um something else in hope.
I hope we have such a good turn out for festival festival, should be a blast.
Oh one more thing, Saftey Guy I don't know if I mentioned it, but thanks for putting the meet together. Can we try to get that pavillion right on the lake next time, I believe its #1. That would be so nice, so more ppl would be forced to witness the power of a festiva gathering :-) (Wind blows, chimes are heard in the distance, and the clouds open above our cars :-)

My girlfriend goes to school in London, so it's possible that my Festiva will be in his area if he wants to check it out some time and talk about Festivas...
