It's offical!
The 6th Annual NorthWest Indiana 914 BBQ will be held on August 10th 2013. So save the day!
Because of my employment situation we are asking if possible to please bring side dish to share. We will have the big ice tray cooler so we can keep cold food cold.
Menu will include, but not limited to:
Burgers, Brats, Dogs
Soda, Water, Ice tea, and Coffee BYOB if you want anything else.
You don't need a 914 to come. We have plenty of room. I have chairs, but its a good idea to bring your own.
Doors open 10:30am central, that's 11:30am for eastern time guys shades.gif
My address:
Garold Shaffer
6852 Prairie Run Ave
Portage In 46368
219-730-9205 (cell)
Location is my house in Portage Indiana just off the Indiana Toll road (Portage exit) and I-94 (exit 19).
Directions:
From I94 take Exit 19 (Portage / Port of Indiana) south to 1st stop light (Rt 20). Turn left (east) on RT 20 to first stop light, aprrox 1 mile (sameulson road). Turn Right (south) on Sameulson rd. Go to 3rd stop sign (central ave) and turn left (east) on Central Ave. My subdivison is on the left about 1/8 mile called Prairie Run. Turn in and stay left, we are 5th house on left. You will see my 914(s) in the drive. Don't worry about parking in my drive, all 914s mark their spots and I have cleaner.
I will put out a few signs with 914 & arrows on them once you get to central ave to help direct you on your way.

I'm going to try to make it this year! Is it okay if I show in something other than a 914?

Of course. Doesn't matter that you bring a 914 or not, just show up and meet some other 914 nuts.
Glad anything is O.K. !!! I will show up accompanied by walker ! I guess if I had
to crawl there I'd do that. Lets have all the Mid Westerners support this.
Looking forward to this Barber Dave Dave Kimple4
Sounds Great! It's on my calendar.
Count me in!

I should be able to make it, there are no races on August 10th!
I'll be there!

I'm going to try and make it this year. I need some motivation to get going on my project again.
I think I am going to try to make it, too. First time. Need a road trip and the 914 is running good right now.
to the top.
It should be a great event once again. At last week's Porsche Parade, there were over 800 cars, but only a handful of 914s. Should have a greater turnout at the BBQ!
to page one and hey admins how do I get this topic highlighted? 
I'll be there. Thanks Garold for doing this.
since all the other gatherings are staying current.
I would love to make this, but 9 hours in the August heat in a 914 could be just a tad warm. Plus I am already going to SCCA Solo Nationals a couple weeks later, then on to RRC in Durango. I will think about it but doesn't look promising. 
I'll try to make it...the 914 might not be ready...
Hmmmmmmm. I'm going to be at Mid Ohio for a PDX and race.
Only 4 hours away...
I wonder how many times I would have to fill the tank on the 914?

I am planning on being there, I enjoyed it last year.
I was able to get out of work that Saturday!
I am in!
Any one heading from North or Northwest want to hook up and drive in together send me a PM.
Quite a hoot last year when 3 914's were spotted zipping to the BBQ together. Turned a lot of heads and many thumbs up on the way down.
Twas a good time.

I have mostly been a lurker, but now have my 73 2.0 running pretty well. I am in the western suburbs of Chicago and would love to drive down. If welcome, what should we bring?

Brad we would love to have you come. Really just bring a lawn chair if you can fit it your car. Maybe a 6 pack of soda to throw in the cooler to share.
Thank you.
I will see there.
Brad
I will see there.

to page one.Also wanted to say that if you have any parts you are looking to sell bring them along. We can have a little impromptu swapmeet.
As always I have stuff here and will have some of mom's service covers available for a discounted price of $60.Keep your fingers crossed for good weather.
Dang it! That's my birthday, and my wife has made other plans. Otherwise, it would only be a question of which to drive.
I'll watch for next year's.

we could have cake here for you.
Final countdown begins.......................5 days........... 
What do want folks to bring? Sides? drinks? Cash Donations?

Side dish to share or drinks. We have that big enclosed ICE table that we used last year so cold stuff can stay cold. To be honest it really doesn't matter. If you really want to do a cash donation that is fine, but not necessary. Any money collected above the cost for the food we provide will be donated to the local food pantry.

Or maybe you should stash it for the next years BBQ!
I love that cooler table!
Flippin' genius!
I will bring a couple of chairs.
Mike and I plan on meeting on 94 North of Chicago and head South from there if anyone wants to join us. All are welcome.
...also it looks like perfect weather too!
