Georgia/SC/TN Meet and Greet?

Post by mjhaltom »

I would be willing to organize a meet and greet with a swap meet if anyone is interested. I have a good venue here in my home town of Elberton GA, but with some feedback a different place might work. I would just like to meet some more Ford Truck enthusiasts in my area and swap stories, parts, whatever. Please let me know. I live about 45 minutes from DAWG country (Athens GA) on the SC border. Google map Elberton GA 30635. Lemme know :thup:

I actually suggested this quite sometime back, but never got much interest. We could also consider Summit Racing, Year One, Mustangs Unlimited or any of a number of other spots if someone is interested.

Another group is working on a meed at the "SuperNats"...

I may go to Pigeon Forge too. I am a member of an International Enthusiasts Club (SEBA) and we just had a great meet up in Greenville. I would love to get something started around here like that. Maybe a winter or spring annual event. We have a great State Park up here with cabins and camping spots (Russell State Park) that is on a gorgeous lake. I could provide home cooked BBQ as well.

I'd be interested too. Pigeon Forge is just too far to "risk" driving and it's just no fun going to a show/swap meet without your truck. I'm southwest of ATL. Hope something can come of this.

Whom do I need to coordinate with for one of those venues?

But if I supply the cooking and such I would much rather have it close to home.

Keep bringing the feedback!

I was just going to call them, if you are cooking I'm sure Elberton would be easier for you, plus I am always out of town, so don't depend too much on me! :D

mjhaltom,

I'd be up for a meet & greet. I drive over to Elberton about once a month. Not that far from Athens. We have some awesome car & truck shows here in town, but they don't start up again until April I think.

HA! now we're talkin'! Lets find a date in March and go with it. How about Saturday the 24th? We can use the Elks Club here in Elberton. They have a nice big parking lot, restrooms and even a bar if anyone wants a cold beverage. I will cook BBQ and feed everyone. I just need an idea of the # of folks. I would strongly encourage a swap meet to go along with this. meet ad greet. Thoughts?

We could start this thing in Elberton and have it elsewhere next time. No biggie. Making the connections to start a local Ford truck club is all I'm looking for.

I guess I will keep an eye on this thread for a week or two to see how many serious folks we attract. Then I can make firmer plans. I checked with the Elks Lodge today and the venue is a go. Encourage your friends and fellow Ford truck guys.
