2011 Ohio Meet - planning thread

Lets start planning one out early this year...

I'm shooting for a Saturday or Sunday in August.

For location, we've always done them in Akron because there's a lot of locals (Crew Legit, Ohiohondas) so we will have a decent turn out. Also there's a cruise-in on Sunday evenings and there's plenty of good places to shoot if we have a photoshoot meet. There's also a park in the area with plenty of parking for a cookout.

Akron seems to work well because it's between Cleveland and Columbus but I'm not opposed to having it somewhere else.

I definitely want to do something at a place where we can have room to park, eat and check out the cars & b.s.

The photoshoots and cruise-ins are a bonus.

Let's hear your thoughts if you would like to attend.

for past OH meets we've had a member drive down from Canada and another drive up from Missouri. If there's members coming from out of state I'm gonna have to make this good :thumb:

Im down for Mansfield or Akron
Mansfield is more of central Ohio
Just as inconvenient for everyone to get to

i know a lot of guys who would come out.. but most can't/won't make the drive to Akron. but a central meet could accommodate everyone.


and Teal, i'll look more into possible meet up spots if you'd like?


i'll also be hosting an Ohio meet down in Hocking Hills later this fall.

Alright Mansfield seems to be the best place for everyone. I'm not familiar with Mansfield besides taking a tour of the old prison they have there (awesome place btw).

I like the traditional outdoor cookout where everyone brings something.

I went to this site mentioned above, http://www.ci.mansfield.oh.us/index.php ... recreation
And found that to rent a pavilion at a park will cost $100 for a fri, sat or sun :???:

I don't want to ask members to chip in for the $100 park space on top of food and gas.

Does anyone from the area know if there are parks that do not charge for a space?

I'd even abandon the park cookout tradition if we could find a restaurant that we could eat at and have a large parking lot to chill in w/o getting harassed for loitering.

Lets hear your thoughts
