Is this a pretty big turn out? Any estimated numbers of Fieros going to be there? Very curious.

I believe it is in the neighborhood of 50 Fiero's or so.

Is that about right Mr, Mrs Bear?

Rick got his time off for that weekend, now I better get to work on the car, he is too busy on "other" projects! LOL

Typically, the number of cars registered to show is in the 30s, and we normally get around 50 total showing up. 50-70 people.

I'm glad you folks can make it, we look forward to seeing you again. Have you two been to Solvang?

We have never been, looking forward to checking it out. Looks like we are bringing the girls again, they had fun last year and this year should be better since we are right next to a park.

There is plenty to do there, or look at if you like to shop. The horse draw trolley ride, rent surrey bikes, and so on. It's a really cool place, there should be plenty for the girls to do.

Oh oh! Sounds like horse drawn trolley is on the "must do" list.

We are supposed to have a discount worked out with the trolley folks (a buck a person?). They say they give a lot of info during the ride, such as history and things to see.



The start/end point of their tour is right next to our show location

Quick question:

Any trophies 1,2,3 given? Or plaques? Just curious.

Cool!

At the bottom of the page is a blue box that says Pennock's Image Poster, click that and upload your picture or use some other free image host sight.


The girls are gonna love the horse trolley.

ahhh....dang, posting a pic takes some getting used to.

Kev. Its all good.

Just got word that the Hotel was sold out of our block of 25 rooms but might still have rooms available that they will give at our discounted rate. Last heard they only had 4 rooms left in the hotel for our weekend so anyone who wants to stay in our hotel and get our discounted rate needs to call now!

There are other hotels nearby, Motel 6, not as nice, doesn't have a pool and will accept pets is one that comes to mind. We stayed there when scouting things out for the event. They didn't have a nice parking lot for Westfest or a place to hold meetings but would not be bad to sleep if you need a room for the night.

Ok, so do I need to pre-register for the show, or just show up?

Max and I will be there for Saturday. We're trying to drag Kaleen along, too... hehe.

We're centering our summer road trip around Westfest... the Wednesday before we're heading to Vegas, so when we arrive in Buellton we'll either be crazy rich, or crazy broke! :P

Going to call around for a hotel in the area for Friday night tomorrow.

\o/ Party People!

Yeah.. Better opt for the horse drawn trolley! Those pedal cars are murder! Especially with my girls and I am the only one actually pedaling!

Ok, I can pre-register...be sure to post up the link for the form when it becomes available.

1988 Pontiac Fiero GT

I would like to pre-register also when the form is available. Thanks!

I have (finally) finished the forms. They're being copied right now. I also want to put them on the web, so you can download, print and send them. This will save Westfest some printing and postage money. I'll post when the forms are available for download.

I'd like to ask that everyone email your snail mail address, so we can check our records and add new people. We often send the forms and info on Westfest through the mail. Send the mail to Mary: msbear@pacbell.net

Registration forms are going out in the mail in the next couple of days to the folks that we don't have emails for. I hope to have downloadable forms on the Westfest website by the end of the weekend. I'm trying to save Westfest's bank account the cost of printing and mailing forms to everyone, so I hope you'll be able to download and print your own sign up sheets soon.

The website for Fiero Westfest to get your registration form is:

http://fierowestfest.org/

The Bear is still working on the construction of the page. The PDF format is working best to print documents. Please go to the website, download your documents and send in your registration forms.

Those that I do not have an email for will be getting their copies in the mail and we will have some copies at the meeting on Tuesday.

See you at Westfest!

Mary

I will be downloading and mailing in the registration form.

I've got 3 judges so far.

Would like to get 5. Anyone interested who is not showing thier car? I already have someone who volunterred from GGF. I would like to get other clubs to submit volunteers that way we can keep our judges not to be too partail to any club. Anyone from West Coast Fieros? Reno? CV FOG? Las Vegas? San Diego? Arizona? Sacramento? We have a lot of clubs out there that could be offering us a judge!

Thanks

Mary

Getting registrations! Thank you very much.

Keep them coming. I will be needing to let the restaurante know how many will be in attendance so please get those registrations in ASAP! If you don't want to send your check in the mail, at least send in the form so we can reserve your space and know how many people will be in attendance.

Mary

Marie and I will be visiting during the day on Saturday but this falls on the same weekend as her high school reunion so we'll have to leave mid-afternoon.

Wow, Duane Rodman on this forum. Very cool, welcome, and glad you'll be able to make it. I think you'll like the show location.

A longtime Fiero owner from L.A. area, has a very nice T-Top GT, and hadn't been hanging around the forum.

I could judge. How badly do you need one?

Just popping in to say this event sounds awesome! I used to live in SLO and have been to Solvang a few times. My mom makes some amazing Aebleskivers. Have a great time everyone!

Maybe we can make a deal...send me some Point beer, and I'll send you something from Solvang???

I've heard of two rooms that have come available at the Hotel. Chris West made a reservation for his daughter and wife but they will not be attending. Maddy is going to be in a play that weekend so the star will not be able to attend our event. Contact Chris about that reseveration or the Hotel soon as it could be a available with them.

Another member in our club, Deb Leavitt made a reservation but decided to bunk, and share a room with another member. Her room is now available. Contact her to make arrangements.

If you have any questions on how to reach either of these fine Fiero owners let me know.

Good news!! I've got my 5 judges now! We are ready to have a wonderful car show! Get your registration forms in!

Mary

I hope we talk when we are in Solvang. My wife also makes Aebleskivers. Is you mom Danish? I said earlier, in the post above, my wife's Danish. She'll be there too. What kind of Fiero do you have? I'll look for you...

Cordially,
Kevin
