SprinterFest EAST Update - Countdown - ONLY 1 WEEK TO GO

I'm sneeking this post in this thread because it is generally the thread everyone reads. We only have 1 week left before the upcoming SprinterFest EAST event and I'm trying to get as much exposure as possible. This post is also under the USA thread as well. Thanks and I'll see you at the SprinterFest EAST event...

SprinterFest EAST Attendees and Wannabe Attendees...

Only 1 week left...

Yes, that's right, only 1 week left till the first (and hopefully annual)
SprinterFest EAST event. No mater how you slice it, 1 week, 7 days, 168
hours, 10,080 minutes, or 604,800 seconds, it's just around the corner.

We will have some great prizes...
- John from The Sprinter Store has donated a $50 dollar gift certificate to
The Sprinter Store
- I have donated a 6 pak of Mobil 1 Oil AND a case of Pennsylvania's finest
Yeungling Lager beer from the oldest brewery in the nation, Yeungling Brewery
of Pottstown, PA, just North of Harrisburg.
- Mike Sokol has donated a Fluke Electronic Test device to detect the presence
of electricity. This just might save your life some day.
- And we still have a week left to collect prizes. You can bring a batch of
home baked cookies and we'll award them to a starving Sprinter owner.

Mike Sokol will be giving his "Shock Zone" class that is important to any
Sprinter owner that camps with his Sprinter. You need to be aware of the
hazards and insure you are not "shocked" into your next life by a stray jolt
from your Sprinter.

We will have a new 2010 Sprinter "flying" (on a lift but flying sounds more
exciting) for all to take a close look at the underside and mechanical build
of the new Sprinters.

And BEST OF ALL, we will have all your Sprinters parked in the big lot for
everyone to see what you have done and get ideas for future upgrades of their
own Sprinters. Yes, this is a "Kick-the-Tires" event at it's best.

If any of you have been considering purchasing a ScanGuage II to monitor you
engine performance I'm sure someone will have one on their Sprinter. I have
the DashDAQ monitor from Drew Technologies on my Sprinter that allows me to
monitor a lot more items on screen than the ScanGuage and see the performance
on screen.

We even have a Veggi Oil Sprinter coming. That should be interesting.

Again on camping, Fred, from Highland Hts, OH, has made reservation
at a local camp ground for Friday and Saturday night (we will have dry camping
available in the parking lot of Sun Motor Cars, ps.. it's a big, no HUGE
parking lot). Here is the link Fred provided if anyone is interested.

I made a reservation at Western Village RV park for the Friday and Saturday
night of SprinterFest. They are about 12 miles east of Sun Motor Cars and have
full hookup sites for $33/night.

You might want to tell others who are coming in case they want more than a
parking lot for the nights. The web site is www.westernvillagervpark.com

I know Fred & John from Upscale Automotive (The Sprinter Store) are camping
there. Friday and Saturday night.

Can't wait. I think we are now 1 hour closer because it's taken me about that
time to get these thoughts down.

Are you sure about the zip code?

Yep, the Fest is at Sun Motor Cars, on the Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050. They used to be down in the Camp Hill area but moved out to the Carlisle Pike in a HUGE new facility. We will be in the far back parking lot next to the Collision Center. See you there.

We have had 4 more Sprinter owners sign up for the SprinterFest EAST event this weekend. If you and your Sprinter are not doing anything this Saturday come on by. You can kick tires and talk to a ga-zillion other Sprinter owners.

See you there.

It was a great event Stew. Thank you for your efforts in making it happen.

Thanks for leaving this post in the Sprinter Talk section until the SprinterFest EAST event happened.

I have updated the post under the USA section.

You may delete this thread in this section.

Thanks.

Didn't find out about this event until it was too late to change plans I had already made - Are you planning a 2011 event ? Set a date ? I'll plan to be there if I can pre-schedule vacation for next year.

Thanks!

Steve

At the event I overheard talk that a 2011 meet-up was almost certain. But gee, wouldn't it be nice if one of the Florida dealerships sponsored a winter event, perhaps over one of the three day January or February weekends, which would be quite a nice break for those of us on the (cold) east coast?

If done in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area, there is a state campground with cabins in Miami (though I have never been there), and if the date is set early enough, it might be possible to actually secure campground reservations. Extend the trip in the Keys... For pre/post event attractions, there is Disney World, Butterfly World, Shell World, Flamingo World (OK, really, Flamingo Gardens), etc...

(a suggestion like this worked so well last time... let's see if it will work again )

It was good meeting you at SprinterFest East Sean (and thanks for sharing your generator with me). Great idea about a winter SprinterFest East in Florida!
