    Post by Casimier Tue May 15, 2012 12:44 pm

    It's official, I've set it up and I'm looking for volunteers to help out.

    Some of you may already have been contacted by me by individual email so you know what has been happening behind the scenes.

    The flyer can only post the particulars, like date and time but there is so much more....please ask the questions and I'll try to fill in the blanks.

    The event site is located on a county road with easy on/off access to a major freeway. Google the address. There are two campgrounds within 5 miles. I'm presently trying to determine best hotel/motel accomadations. Six Flags Great Adventure and Waterpark is just up the road. The event site has a local Irish pub a couple of restaurants and an ice cream parlor. Across the road is your McDonalds, Buger King, Wawa, KFC, Dunkin Donuts along with a better than average restaurant..

    Registration will require a $10 fee/donation to cover some of the costs.

    So, get in touch with me if you would like to volunteer to be on the crew.

    Thanks

    Hey Jessie

    The show spot is only 20 miles from one of New Jersey's best breaks,
    I call it MY BEACH, Belmar, NJ. Right down the road on Interstate 195.
    Here is the webcam link....
    http://www.nj.com/shore/belmarcam/
    a lot of entertainment, restaurants, bikinis, etc.

    I was thinking of a cruise to the beach after the show.....
    a little surfing maybe...
    Maybe Sunday having a parting out party at a south Jersey Junkyard.

    Just a few fun things.

    Can you repost the flyer on this thread. I've looked through this but don't see the date anywhere. There are a good bunch of early owners in the Northeast that likely don't have a clue that this is happening.

    UPDATE June 22, 2012

    Okay, you know that Timberland Lake Campgrounds is giving us a 20% discount!

    Now, we've got more good news!

    Autozone and J.C. Taylor Vintage car Insurance are going to be kickin the goody bags!

    The PiZza and the Mexican Restaurants at the site are also going to give 20% off for registered vanners!

    And get this...those of us who are of drinking age and are lucky enough to receive one in their goody bag....McGinn's Tavern is supplying coupons for
    drinks and dinner.

    Yes, the event is right next door to one of Jackson's own taverns!
    If you get a little partched talkin up and showin your van, just truck on over to the bar next door...just a few feet away for a cold one!

    That's it for now...register early...the site has limited space.

    UPDATE June 31, 2012

    Have gotten a number of Car/Truck Parts outfits involved.
    We'll have to see what kind of goodies they will be participating with.

    Which brings me to this announcement.

    "Bring Your Parts"

    Not that The Gathering will be a swap meet, because it is not.
    But, trading parts for your truck to cover the cost of the trip is well understood. I'm bringing my extra parts, never know who will need them.

    Spread the word.

    Post by Casimier Mon Jul 09, 2012 6:08 am

    Hey All only 2 weeks to go....!!!!

    Remember to Register ASAP!!!!

    This is the Northeast and space is limited....
    NJ is the most populated state in the nation...
    and this is a resort area.
    Call NOW for that campground space or hotel room if you plan to stay over!

    I measured out the lot and I think I can get 50 to 60 vans in there.
    If you bring a canopy let me know and I'll register you in one of the big spots....so register NOW! Register now to hold a bigger spot.

    T-shirts....right now we are only making 15.....due to the cost and the registration response I'm getting. I will be selling them for $15.
    They will have Vintage Vans written on the pocket and on the Back they will have the event flyer printed on the back. I'll post a pic of the shirt when they are done.

    So, let me know!

    Thanks for the pep talk Chris.
    Sometimes I feel like KevinKosner in Field of Dreams.
    I keep on hearing "Make it and they will come"
    Well, I've made the show field...gotten the discounts from the local merchants...and now it's waiting for the VANNERS to come. Very Happy

    Yes they will come, as with Baker's you start out smaller but you'll grow. I know it. More early's in you're area than you think and you'll keep finding them

    Galaxy is organizing a group of NJ vanners to go to this through the post on Vannin.com and hopefully Rollie's post on the VCVC site will help too. I'm hoping this works out very well for you and that it becomes as successful as Bakers.

    Hey Virtual

    Thanks for all the help.

    Just to let you know, rough count is 30 vans so far.
    The weather is going to be just fabulous. The heat spell has broken.
    Only 50% humidity, High of 79 degrees and only a 10% chance of rain for saturday. My only regret is that the event is NOT on the beach. Smile
    Maybe a cruise to the beach after the show...would love to see something like that on YOU TUBE. Give a chance for some of the guys to take pics of their truck or van at the beach with a backdrop of the ocean and beach full of bikinis.

    I'm just thinking of a spot for all this...Let's hope I come up with one.

    Thanks again
