Jeep Show/Meet and Greet In Northeast MA

[88JeepXJ]

I want to organize an informal Jeep show in the Peabody, MA area. I think it would be a good meet and greet for us Jeepers in the area. I'm hoping to get a crew of good people to go out wheeling this summer. All are welcomed no matter what kind of Jeep.

My mother-in-law's boyfriend just started a "gourmet" hotdog truck in the area so we could meet at pretty much any open parking lot in the area and he could show up and sell us good food for the show.

Would anyone in the area be interested? I know myself and two other XJers will be there. I'm thinking a Thursday or Friday night (6:30ish) the last few weeks of April or begining of May.

I'm up for it...a nice family orientated jeep show would be fun. Good way to get new people into the sport as well

im in the same boat as redneckboarder, not as far but same deal with the gas situation... and billyjp2, good idea with the wheeling, that sounds like a good idea. if we have this meet n greet we could talk more about that there possibly...??

OK well if I said next Friday (April 25th) at 6:00 how many could make it?

 

[billyjp2]

i'll see what i can do about making it. my jeep isnt so good on the highway so might take my ranger.

[Hackmeister]

I could probably make it, it's real easy for me to get up there

 

[rausch]

We need a good spot here on the northshore. Anyone know of a good spot.

 

[5spd_xj]

if billy brings his camo jeep i'll bring mine ...its not camo, but it isn't much of a fan of the highway either...but if we do next friday i'll do my best to get there. i usually work friday nights but thats easy to switch, just lmk asap if that date is a definite...

 

[88JeepXJ]

I think the date is definate, the location is TBD

 

[Dundy]

I might be able to go with one of my buddies. I'm not too far away. It'll be nice to meet some new people.

If I can add a bit of constructive criticism here, You may want to give folks a little more notice and plan it for maybe mid-May or something. I have found that a months notice is usually satisfactory for something like this.

Well if it takes you that long to drive from PA, I guess your right

 

[rausch]

My brother and his YJ might come as well as another buddy with his TJ.

I have set up a few of these (have one at RC on April 26th) in the past, and more notice always gets more people involved. You never know though, the weather is getting nice....

I was suggested the boat launch in Danvers near route 128 and 62. It is on Harbor Street off Liberty Street.
