2nd Annual HHR Cedar Point Meet Pics/Stories
 
2nd Annual HHR
Cedar Point Meet
July 11-13th, 2008

Hard to believe after all this time planning we are finally upon the event. This thread is dedicated for your pics and stories from the meet.

Chris and I left Hillsdale yesterday morning and arrived in Sandusky. We scouted out all the event locations and got in contact with Bill and Linda from HHR Boutique. Took a few trips to the pool and had a nice steak for dinner.

Around 11 pm we were lucky to witness a funny display of human ignorance from our hotel room window. A family of four pulled up in their minivan that was apparently rented as they had no idea how to operate its features. Between the father and mother it took them over an hour to figure out how to shut off the dome light and lock the doors. In the process, they also managed to set off the car alarm. Chris and I were cracking up and I was glad for once that it was someone else and not me :D

sounds like a plan to me since I can't make this one.....

a76marine 07-10-2008 02:36 PM

Drive over from Chicago wasn't bad... even the city was nice enough to let us through fairly unscathed. :)

Here was a pic of one of the few times we were caught in traffic.

Yes what a blast thanks to everyone that came, it was a blast hanging out with you all. Congrats to all the Trophey winners!! And once again Dayton and Chris thank you! I will post pics maybe tonight if not then Sunday night. Ok off to Olive Garden to meet up with some of you, then hopefully whip you guys in go kart racing.

MrVette 07-12-2008 07:27 PM

We just got home! I had to say what a great time we had. It was fun to see everyone from the first Cedar Point G2G and we met a bunch of great people that came out for this gathering for the first time. (3 times the HHR's for this years event)
I also want to take some time to thank all the great sponsors for this event! Everyone went home with some great door prizes and a loaded goody bag. It was also nice to see a vendor show up in person, HHRBoutique.com was there with all kinds of goodies for the HHR for us to see and buy.
I also want to give a huge thank-you to Dayton and Chris(HillsdaleHHR and ChritonHHR) for all the hard work they did to put this all together. You guys did an awesome job!!! :thumb:
We can't wait to see you all again! Have fun at the RRHoF!!
