Wagon Fest 2015 NY. Friday night.... Options

So there's no Watkins Glen Thunder Road Tour this year, so the Geneva car show seems to be the only other option.

Or is it.... Years ago when Fred ran the show he had his shop open for working on, and or washing the wagons. I'm not a huge fan of the Geneva car show, and I've got my youngest son to keep an eye on, so I'm staying home on Friday.

I'm not as close as Fred was to the Fest, I'm about 45 minutes West of Waterloo depending on the route you take. So I'm opening up my house / garage to you all to hang out, work on cars, wash cars, ect...
I'm not really fussy about my yard, I don't have a dog, my neighbor are pretty cool, and I think I'm pretty hospitable. My wife and 4 older kids will be out of town that week, and weekend so it's just me, and my little Jack (8 years). I've got a bunch of tools, a compressor, a few parts, fire pit, and a good sized yard with a swing set and trampoline.... For the kids.

I've been to enough Wagonfests to know most of you all, so I'm comfortable putting this out there.

I'm not trying to brake up the group, just adding another option for something to do.

Let me know.

Oh, on a side note, I'm about 5 minutes from the KOA in Farmington, NY. and my yard could accommodate a camper/tent or 2 if your hard up.... or just really cheap.

My address - 1528 Redfern, (Red Fern depending on your gps) Drive

Thanks for the kind offer Mike!

Count us in were staying in Farmington so this is convenient not to mention the boys had a lot of fun playing with Jack last year, and yes you are a very hospitable guy

Save a spot in the car wash for the NotRod and likely for Stubby No Mods vehicle!

Not feeling the love!!

Bumping offer. Work / wash / hang out day/night at my place.

is this where people are going to meet up Friday evening?

I am not sure what time in the AM we are leaving and it is a 600 + mile drive for us. so we have no real idea when we will get there. we are camping at the state park and I assume we will want to set up there first.

I am one of the few people on this earth that does not own a cell phone so hooking up with anyone would be difficult.

There are two  three... no... make that ... four  five things to do.

1) Venture to Mike's house. meet greet, wash the  car and your stinky feet.

2) Go to the Car show  Downtown Geneva for a few hours, lots of cars, food, beer and bands.

3) Car show first, then caravan to Mike's house to see if there is any beer leftover by the time we get there.

4) If there was any beer left, do "Smokey" burnouts in front of the State Police barracks that you passed by when you entered Mike's subdivision..

5) Pass the hat for bail money.

Wish I would have seen this earlier.
The Cayuga state park is east of Geneva and his place is west. I am going to have to drive past and come back. It would have made more sense to camp in his backyard Friday then the state park on Saturday.

What is the extended weather forecast for your area?

forecast looks good for Friday and Saturday so far.

Check for camping at Sampson State park, just south of Geneva on Rt 96, much closer than Cayuga Lake.

Also take note of the early post in this thread where Mike said there's a KOA Campground literally few miles from his house. I've listed the website below for you.

Getting excited. This'll be the third attempt to get to this event (knocks on wood).

Yea could be cool. We'll see what happens. We are staying at the Cayuga Lake State Park but I don't mind driving all over.

We already paid stupid money to register at Cayuga.

If you haven't already done so, check into their refund policy.

Is Mike still having it what does bumping offer mean?  I feel like I should know this

when you "bump" a post, you are bringing it up to the top for people to look at again.

we are considering this a lot as it would save us a little driving for the first night of our trip.

Oh OK thank you for clarifying that yeah we will be in Farmington too it's not to far and it's a beautiful area.

Yes, my offer is still on. Friday at my place, work on your car, wash your car, or just hang out, and watch Tim wash his car.  Thursday would be open too if you need a place. Again, there is a lot to do in Geneva Friday night, but I've got kid duty this weekend, so no Geneva for me. My intent is not to split us up Friday, just offering another option for us in the boring crowd.

As a side note, don't listen to Dave,   I do not have beer at the house, so bring your own if you want some. I'll have drinks, and snacks, or something available to all. Small camp fire and smores at night. There are a few grocery stores 2-3 miles from me as well for your last minutes necessities.


Drive safe everyone.

The weather in Farmington/Canandaigua looks to be SWEET! High 70's, Thursday, and Friday, mid 80's Saturday with no chance of rain until Sunday. Obviously that can change, but so far so good.

I like weatherunderground my self.
