:one: :thumb: :nuts:

:thumb: Looking forward to it! :thumb:

There better be more than 6 this year or im selling my HHR...............haha not

HMMM.....Depending on when it is, it might be a possible stop-off on my honeymoon trip.

Date is to be determined yet. When is your honeymoon trip?

LOL Date is to be determined yet

When you get your date for the meet, I will post it up on our Mid-AmericanHHR Club site.. You know we like to have fun. :thumb:

Thanks Tom. We are in the process of determining the Dates / Itinerary but hope to have it worked out within the next couple of weeks to give everyone maximum notice.

i wanna see everyone again it was fun!!!

I hope to be there again!! :thumb:

Okay. Looks like we are going to do Friday July 11th and Saturday July 12th. This is kind of open ended at the moment. Plans are to spend the entire day at Cedar Point on Friday. Those that want to spend 2 days at the Park can come Thursday and Friday. On Saturday, we can meet for lunch. How does Damon's sound. They were great last year.
Some people expressed wanting to cruise from Cedar Point to Cleveland to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. If people are interested we can leave Sandusky Saturday afternoon and cruise a little over an hour to Cleveland and have an evening dinner meet and then spend Sunday visiting the RRHOF. Let the questions/comments roll ;)

Those dates look great. I think Bonnie and I could make that and still have time to do the final work for the HHRitage Nationals.

Is this at the theme park or somewhere around it. Is there hotel set aside for us as far as a meeting place. This would be me and my wife's first year. We live in Columbus Ohio just trying to get all the details cause we would love to join in on the fun with other HHR owners. Thank you Greg and Teresa Smith

We would spend the entire day Friday at the park. Depending on numbers we may have to meet in a different location than last year. There are tons of hotels in all price ranges to choose from in the area.

Hello everyone, I am new here. I work for a hotel and that weekend is busy for us. I will try to get it off so my family and I can come.

Thank You

Last year we met at McDonald's at 9 am and then cruised into Cedar Point together at 9:30. Depending on attendance numbers we might have to meet somewhere else and cruise in as McDonalds lot is not that big :D

We would spend the entire day Friday at the park. Depending on numbers we may have to meet in a different location than last year. There are tons of hotels in all price ranges to choose from in the area but for the price I suggest Castaway Bay for the special perks. Discounted tickets, entrance to the park 1 hour early, very close to the park, indoor water park etc.

I think if we have any more attendees than last year, McDees would not be a good starting point. I would say the hotel with the most HHR's would be the best place to start. Castaway Bay sounds like a good place. Damons was a great place for our lunch and they had plenty of room for us to all sit together. Count me in for a cruise to the RRHOF, I love seeing the look on peoples faces when they see a group of HHR's traveling together!!

Not sure yet. Ww will know more in a couple of months. I have found a blood clot in my left lung and I just got out of the hospital 3 days ago after a 6 day stay. I am not out of the woods yet and not sure where money is going to be we will know more in a couple months sorry for no sure answer yet but just not sure how this is going to shake down. Greg

Greg, plenty of time. You just concentrate on getting better :thumb: :thumb:

I'll be there as long as its not the same weekend of the GM Tuner bash.

the wife and i will try and be there.

i have 2 weeks vacation comming up this year and have to go to Minnesota 1st.

-md- HHR and SLVR FOX, hopefully we will see you both there :thumb: :thumb: I've add you to the maybe list in the first post.

Put me down for a maybe. I havn't been to Cedar Point in a loooooooooong time.:banana:

your Friend, the one and only SCARECROW!!

Hope you can make it this year scarecrow :thumb: :thumb:

Just got a knock on the door from the UPS man and received the first door prize for this summer's meet. Thanks go to The Original California Car Duster :thumb: :thumb:

I have contacted the General Manager at Damon's and he said he would again give us a 10% discount on our meals :thumb: :thumb:. Summer weekends are very busy for them so I need to keep him updated on how many guests we will have. Since we will be going for lunch on Saturday, I don't think it will be as big of a problem. If you know you are coming just let me know and how many people will be with you.

Hillsdale, you might as well put me down as a maybe. I'm almost a definite....but a lot can happen between now and then.

You are down as a maybe ;)

You can put me down as a maybe don't know if the wife has any plans that weekend

Been working on the barn doors, finally figured out a way to make the hidden articulating hinges work! Going to TRY to get this phase completed enough & at least in primer & driveable so I can bring it to the meet. Can't wait until July! :thumb:

Cool Jeff :thumb: :thumb:

Hello guys/gals.

I'll go up as a maybe and will bring my girl with me so add two to Damons. Would need to drive back to Chicago on Sunday so would be a no for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

FWIW... the girl and I both met at Cedar Point 12 years ago when we both worked there for 3 summers.

Hello guys/gals.

I'll go up as a maybe

FWIW... the girl and I both met at Cedar Point 12 years ago when we both worked there for 3 summers.

Added you as a maybe. Very cool on meeting at Cedar Point. 1 of the members got married just before last years C. P. Meet and called it their honeymoon :thumb:

Received area information booklets to add to goodie bags from the Erie County Convention and Visitors Center :thumb: :thumb:

If anyone has questions on Hotels just ask. I've got a huge list with rooms in all price ranges.

Okay, for those that are thinking of coming I need your suggestions/feedback.

Friday is full for those wanting to attend Cedar Point. As for Saturday we are planning lunch at Damon's and probably hanging out in one of the local parks to check out our rides and award prizes. Wondering if there would be any interest in taking a mini cruise (6 miles) in the HHR's to take a tour of a winery. Cost is very minimal and includes the tour as well as tastings of 4 different wines, juices, cheese and crackers, and a souvenir glass. The winery is open 9am - 5pm so we could do it before or after lunch. Thoughts?

Your suggestions on the Cedar Point trip sound great, we're always up for touring a winery!

:thumb: :thumb:

A definite yes for us if we come. Did some figuring and really think we can work this in.

Hillsdale, will the initial meeting place on friday be at the park? Morning, or afternoon? Is the plan then to spend the rest of the day in the park, crash in the hotel, followed sat. morning by more park fun, then lunch @ Damons and followed by the winery tour? Cruise sat. afternoon/evening to cleveland for overnite stay, then sunday at the hall of fame? Just trying to get an idea of the planned timeline! :smile:



BTW...the winery tour sounds great! :thumb:

Chris and I will be arriving in Sandusky around noon on Thursday. Haven't heard from Siobhan but I'm sure she will be meeting us that afternoon. Some people expressed an interest of 2 days at Cedar Point. For those people I would suggest Thursday (on your own) and then Friday will be our official day at Cedar Point together. We will meet early morning Friday somewhere to be determined and cruise in together and spend the entire day at Cedar Point. The last hour in Cedar Point they do a Laser Light Show with fireworks etc. so that would be cool. For those of us who are still in the mood we could hit TGIF's after or just go crash at our hotels.
Saturday, we will start with a tour of the winery then meet up at Damon's for lunch. Afterwards we will find a local park (I'm still working on this location) to have our Awards Ceremony and to give out door prizes. Rest of day to be determined yet.
Sunday, for those interested, we will meet for breakfast at 7:30 am. Those heading to Cleveland for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will head out at 8:30. The Museum Hours are 10am to 5:30pm.

I should be there Friday may or may not be there Saturday and Sunday due to National Guard Drill is that weekend. But it sounds like an awesome time like always:thumb:

Grey, hope to see you. That will suck if you can't be there for Saturday :(

Reminder: First post of this thread will continue to be updated up to the day before the event, so be sure to check there for all new information.

I'm tentatively in for sat. and sun.

I'm tentatively in for sat. and sun.

This sounds like a great weekend! I'm marking the calendar for this long weekend off. I've never seen the Cleveland attraction and it will be really cool to arrive with a pack of Hollywood Hot Rods! :thumb:

It will be a great time :nuts: :nuts: :nuts: A possible 7 HHR Caravan already :thumb:

:thumb: :thumb:

Talked with Jody from Firelands Winery and set up the tour for 10 am Saturday. Cost is only $3.00 per person and includes the tour, wine tasting, and a souvenir glass :thumb: As the event gets closer I'll need to know exactly how many plan on attending this so they can be set up for us.

Linepainter, sorry to see you can't make it. We'll be sure to have extra fun for you :thumb:

Just finished talking with Marsha at the Sandusky Parks Department and reserved us the pavillion at Shoreline Park. Looks like this is going to be a great location for our Awards Ceremony and to hang out. It has views of Sandusky Bay and Cedar Point. Check it out here Shoreline Park (http://www.ci.sandusky.oh.us/recreation/documents/ShorelinePark_000.pdf). There are also 4 grills and electricity so maybe we can do a BBQ later in the day for dinner. The pavillion can seat up to 60 people so we need more attendees :D

Hey Hillsdale... you can officially move me and the gf to the "Yes" column. We've both been approved for time off and she's already talking about staying at this cool hotel in Huron, OH that we stayed at last summer. ;)

We'll be there Thursday night, will meet you all and go to the park Friday, we'll do the winery and Damon's on Saturday and then we'll have to drive back to Chicago on Sunday instead of going to Cleveland.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Its good to see there will be some new blood this year, The ole lady and i cant wait to see everyone.

I will see if we can make it this year, We are now taking care of my in laws so we have little free time, but as you know Dayton I will do my best to make it.

Looks like me and Bonnie (HHRMOM) are going to be there. Just got all my vacation days approved.

This will be a real nice event a couple weeks before the HHRitage Nationals, and give me a break from all the last minute set-up.

We're really looking forward to meeting all of you!

Almost to 15 definites WOW...Wish my name was on definite list should know by April if I can get excused from National Guard Drill and make it up. I might go AWOL if I don't get excused. I wouldn't do that but It would be great to be there again with all the HHRs and their owners:thumb:

We hope you can be there but understand if you can't. Think we could write a letter to the President :lol:

Grey, maybe you could tell them this G2G is to defend one of our nations great amusement parks & that if more HHRs are there, the better the chance of not being overrun by tourists in minivans! ChevyGrlAlways...looks like now you'll have another female HHR owner there to chat with...HHRMOM! :smile:

if I can get excused from National Guard Drill and make it up.


STA all the way! :thumb:

Awaiting some more goodies from ChevyHHRworld :thumb: Thanks Tom

Hillsdale, I will be putting a care package to ship out to you this week from...

The ChevyHHRWorld store. :thumb:

Trophies arrived today and they look HOTT :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

July needs to hurry up and get here because we're running out of room to store stuff :D

Maybe (that's early to drink wine) to Winery
Yes to R&R Hall

Hey HillsdaleHHR,

Lock me in for all events that weekend, I need some "outta here" time. Not real sure about the Cedar Point day though

Add another definite and an extra HHR for the cruise to Cleveland :thumb: :cool: :thumb:

Maybe (that's early to drink wine) to Winery


I'm not a wine drinker, but I figured it might be fun to tour a winery.

the attendee numbers keep growing:D

After taking a closer look at what's planned and when............

We won't be able to go to Cleveland on Sunday, it would add 2 more hours to the 8 we'll already have to drive to get home Sunday. And we may not make the full day at the park on Friday. We can't take Thursday off too with the HHRitage Nationals just two weeks later.

Still planning on attending though!

Whatever you can make Mike will be great :thumb: Just let me know. Also, if you still want to come to the park later they have something called a Starlight Pass. It is a discounted price from 5 pm on and would allow you to still come see the Laser Light Show.

That's a great idea! If the rest of you are planning on being at the park that late, we will join you then.

Thanks go out to Custom Trucks of Columbiana, Ohio for donating a cool diorama for a door prize. Also much thanks to Jeff (jeffs396) for getting this and his help in searching out Event sponsors :thumb:

More goodies arrrived today. Thanks again to Tom at ChevyHHRWorld for supporting our event :thumb: :thumb:

Received an e-mail from another possible Event Sponsor. Faxing out an Event Flyer to them tomorrow. :thumb:

Jeff (jeffs396) has been in contact with the general sales manager @ Fosters Chevrolet of Sandusky. If they have an HHR SS in stock at the time he is going to see if they can bring it over to the Awards Ceremony for all of us to look at. Jeff, thanks for all your help :bow:

i will be interested in the cedar point trip, i think alot of hhr owners meeting would be fun.

I'll add you to the maybe list :thumb: :thumb:

The sales manager @ Fosters also said they sell many different versions of the HHR. Woodies, custom conversions, and ones with body kits! He said they had the only SS so far sell the day it arrived! He was quite interested in our meet and surprised the HHR had such a following. I'm going to try and twist his arm & get him to bring any/all of the custom HHRs over to the park for us to check out & maybe get some new ideas! :nuts:

Sounds cool Jeff :thumb: Grey (shaginwgn) still isn't sure if he is going to be able to make the Weekend Part of the Meet do to Military Obligations :roll: :p: :lol: but if he does he has offered some lower grill mods as door prizes. Then you'll just have to convince him to do the install as well :lol: Thanks Grey :thumb: :thumb:

I'm going to try and get him to bring any/all of the custom HHRs over to the park for us to check out

And drive home?

Haha, for the right custom I'm not too attached to my HHR just yet. :steering:

I wonder if theres somewhere we can all meet up to wash and detail our cars. We would need some where that was shady from trees or something we could park under. Last year i didnt get to detail my car like i wanted to. Just a thought.

Jeff was able to pick up a few more door prizes from Summit Racing (Already Sponsoring our Event) Great job Jeff :thumb: :thumb:

hey sounds good to me i will try and get thouse days off from work i will let you know more when it closer to the time


I've added you to the maybe list :thumb: Hope you can make it.

Still in talks with a Supporting Vendor (HHRBoutique) and it looks like they will become an Event Sponsor and they may also attend the Event with their goodies :thumb: :thumb:

This trip is going to rock. I can't stop talking about it, or going back to the Point. :D

If HHRBoutique is able to make the Meet and there is somthing big you would like to purchase be sure to contact them ahead of time. They will not be bringing everything with them.

Spoke with Bill and Linda of HHRBoutique tonight and they will be attending the Awards Ceremony on Saturday :one: . They will not be setting up their entire set-up so if there is anything you want for sure be sure to contact them ahead of time and have them bring it with them.

Just got an ariel map of Shoreline Park. There are 76 parking spaces minus the room we need for HHRBoutique's RV. We need more attendees :D

Well, I'm going to need two spaces...the barn doors open very wide! ;) I wonder though, how often the satellite images are updated...would be cool to get an overhead view of all of the HHRs at the park! :thumb:

That would be really cool

The Cedar Point Meet is fast approaching so lets start talking tickets. It is much better if those attending have tickets prior to going to the park. It makes for a quicker entrance. For those of you attending Cedar Point on Friday here are some locations/ways to get discounted tickets:

Where can I buy discounted Cedar Point tickets?
Discount tickets are available at participating Giant Eagle, Meijer (Note that not all Meijer stores sell entertainment and water park tickets.) and Drug Mart stores ($36.25.). Discount tickets are also available at participating AAA locations for AAA members.

Who is eligible for the military discount and where can the military tickets be purchased?
The military discount is available for all active or retired Military personnel (including the National Guard, Military Reserves, Coast Guard and Canadian Military.) Immediate family members include spouse, children, parents, grandparents and grandchildren.

Military discount tickets ($32.00) must be purchased at the gate (a valid military ID must be presented to receive the discount). If the military person is currently deployed overseas, the family members are eligible for the military discount as long as they show a current military family ID when purchasing tickets.

I do believe last year Meijer offered the tickets for about $7-$8 off but I will find out for sure and whether the Meijer in Sandusky offers them.


Discount Drug Mart in Sandusky
124 E. Perkins Ave.
Sandusky, OH 44870


Thanks Roy for your research and recommendations.

A year in the desert saves me an additional $4 at the park.

Haha... fair trade if you ask me.

But for that $4 savings you have to stand in line at the gate :p:

Jeff, here is the answer.
How old are the images in Google Earth? How often are they updated?

Google Earth acquires the best imagery available, most of which is approximately one to three years old. We add to our database on a regular basis. We’re not able to provide you with detailed information regarding when a specific area will be updated.

Thanks Roy...I guess someone will just have to climb a nearby tree to get an aerial shot of the HHRs in the park :lol:

LOL or we can take a helicopter ride and snap some pics.

Picked up another door prize today :thumb: :

Looks so desolate at the moment. It sure won't be on July 11th :D

I was surprized no test runs it was a great day and only like 2 weeks from opening day

Received our 1st Annual and 2nd Annual Shirts in the mail today :thumb: :thumb: We know what we're wearing for 2 out of the 3 days :D

Just over 11 weeks to go !!!! :D

Wow, time is starting to fly now. Better start hounding the local Chevy Dealers for some goodies for the event :D

Looks like I will not be able to go:( Will be in military school to reclass as air defense artillery for the month of July.

We will miss you Grey :(

oh man that sucks dude

Hi and Thank you, I am in Massillon, Ohio. The Cedar Point Meet looks like fun. I will be there if I can.:thumb:

Hope to see you there :thumb:

Cedar Point opens in 6 days and only 68 days until the 2nd Annual HHR Cedar Point Meet :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

Ok. For those of you that have never been to Cedar Point here are a few tips to making the most out of your trip.

1. Wear comfortable shoes. You will be walking alot.
2. Wear comfortable clothes.
3. If you plan on riding any water rides be sure to have a change of clothes handy in your car.
4. Bring a fanny pack / hip pack. You will want it to put your keys, money, glasses (yes, you don't want these flying off on a coaster), etc.
5. Bring sunglasses and sunblock.
6. If you get motion sick or queezy stomach be sure to bring Dramamine.
7. Disposable cameras are best. You don't want to lose or bang your exspensive camera on rides.
8. Have cash. While ATM's are available you will be charged a fee.
9. Be ready to have some fun!!!

Add to that:

10. Bring a lunch in a cooler in your car... food and drink in the park are expensive.
11. Hit the big rides early and late as there will be long waits mid-day.
12. Sit in the last seat of the Magnum roller coaster and look back down that first drop for THE SCARE OF YOUR LIFE. :thumb:

(Will think of more as I worked at the park for 3 years back in the mid-90's)

New Supporting Vendor (Tony_SS) has joined the fray of Event Sponsors. Thanks Tony :thumb: :thumb:

I'd be happy to sponsor you guys

Haha, dang... guess I don't get a discount since I already ordered mine. ;)

Was planning to wear it to the park.

I'm going this sunday. Can not wait till the meet.

I'm going this sunday. Can not wait till the meet.

Might be going Saturday opening day, weather premitting. Wish I could go to the meet though.

Please add 2 more to your list! Hubby, goes by BigRat, will be there w/his HHR SS and me, Rolyat1955 (also known as Robin) will be in my Spring Edition. Looking forward to this as it is going to be the start of a 2 week 3 HHR event vacation for us!

Robin, added you and your hubby to the list. Can't wait to meet both of you. Looks like you are up for the ultimate HHR Run (3 events in a matter of 2weeks :thumb: :thumb: ) There are a couple of other Illinois Members coming. You may want to see if you can start a caravan.

Was fun sunday even though it rained. The Maverick is freakin SWEET.

MD - do you still plan on coming in July?

Less than nine weeks to go...:eek::nuts:

Was fun sunday even though it rained. The Maverick is freakin SWEET.

It went Saturday(opening day):nuts: It was the best day weather-wise sunny, not to hot or cold, and no bugs. I dont know if it was a problem on Sunday or not but seemed rides were down or being worked on alot. Demon drop was down for most of the day, Raptor down for like 2 hours, Maverick was down atleast 6 hours striaght(waited twice tests looked good but didn't pan out), skyhawk was down but was too my advantage as we waited mechanic was finishing up the maintenance and pretty much walked onto the ride:thumb: Overall it was great:cool: My favs were mean streak, millenium force, and magnum.

We have a 7 hour drive (if we don't stop to eat, gas up or potty!! LOL) AND we both work until 4:30 on Thursday so it will be EARLY, EARLY on Friday morning when we roll in. Bring on the coffee!

I haven't been to Cedar Point since 1987, I imagine a lot has changed since. I was wondering if there is enough to keep a 5 year old busy there? Rides, games and such...

Yes and you should come.

I haven't been to Cedar Point since 1987, I imagine a lot has changed since. I was wondering if there is enough to keep a 5 year old busy there? Rides, games and such...

bumper cars, antique car track, Planet Snoopy(new this year, he might be too old not sure), train ride, sky lift(maybe), plus the usual fair games and arcade, and other stuff.

I plan to roll in a little after noon on Thursday... leaving Thurs morning from Waukegan, IL... it's a 5 hour drive but have to add time to get through Chicago traffic. :steering:

Well then we should plan on meeting up Thursday sometime, i wonder if there is a go kart track around there somewhere.

Yes and you should come.

Thanks for the invite. I'm giving it some serious thought. It's about a 10 - 12 hour drive depending on how the kids are doing.

Cars and trains will keep him occupied for hours. Thanks.

Well then we should plan on meeting up Thursday sometime, i wonder if there is a go kart track around there somewhere.

There is one somewhere on Cedar Point Pennisula but out of the actually park because you have to pay extra for it. Seen it while riding one of the rollercoasters because someone spun someone else out and they turned off all the karts:lol:

Well then we should plan on meeting up Thursday sometime, i wonder if there is a go kart track around there somewhere.

There are two go-kart tracks in Sandusky and another one at Cedar Point itself.

The best one is down Route 250 towards the south end of "the strip". Has 4 or 5 tracks including one where you used to have to show your driver's license to be able to drive.

It's been over a decade since I lived there so can't say this is all current info.

Well i say lets go to one of them, Out of the park.

Thanks for the invite. I'm giving it some serious thought.

Added you to the maybe list. Hope to see you there.

Well then we should plan on meeting up Thursday sometime

:thumb: :thumb: Sounds like a plan. I'll do some checking this weekend on go kart places.

There is a place called Goofy Golf that has 36 Holes of Miniature Golf, an arcade, Bumper Boats, and 3 Go Kart Tracks. Sounds like we could waste some time here on Thursday.

That's probably the one I was thinking of... it's right across the street from Great Wolf Lodge if I remember correctly.

If I dont have another show that weekend and the interior is at least partially finished, I will want to go.
