Domestic Car Show and Meet

[Burnt2Death]

1st Annual Northeast Cobalts Meet and Show UPDATED

July 23rd 2011 ---- French Creek State Park - Elverson, Pa

I am hosting a car meet and BBQ. All info is below and through the attached links.

Please share this with everyone and anyone you think may be interested...

I am working on a massive July meet for those in the area. Open to mostly Cobalt, G5, and HHR owners but I can let all domestic vehicles slide.... I would prefer GM though... This was a much larger meet and show however the funding for it has been lost. However the show must go on. Plans have changed but we are still good to go. SORRY No awards or merchandise will be available. It is now just a meet and chill kind of show. We are still planning a cruise through the State Park and everything the park itself offers is still available. I am providing a BBQ out of pocket for anyone interested in coming. All of the permits and reservations have been paid for already. We have reserved parking, the pool is reserved, group camping is reserved, and the burnout contest is still a go for anyone willong to get their tires spinning.

HELP ME KEEP THIS ALIVE... Donations are also accepted.

I will keep it updated as time goes. Any ideas or suggestions please fell free to comment.

Camping is available year-round at 200 wooded, modern sites that are within easy access to shower and flush toilet facilities. Over 60 sites have electric hookups and more may be added in the future. Pets are permitted on designated sites. I already have our group camping reservations made.

Swimming:
Swimming is offered at the swimming pool by Hopewell Lake from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day, unless otherwise posted. At fee is charged. The pool is near the shore of the lake and provides a beautiful setting for swimmers and sunbathers. Certified lifeguards are on duty when the pool is open. During the swimming season, a food concession is open at the pool complex. Firewood, charcoal, and other picnic supplies are also sold. A picnic pavilion inside the pool complex is available for rent. Reservations must be made at the pool entrance.

All children nine years of age or less must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible person. One such person shall supervise no more than five children. Swimming is prohibited in either lake.

Fishing:
Scotts Run Lake: This 22-acre cold-water lake offers excellent trout and other coldwater species fishing. Hatchery-raised trout are stocked pre-season, during the season and in the winter.

Hopewell Lake: 68 acres of prime water presents a challenge for anglers. A wide variety of Pennsylvania warm-water species are found at Hopewell Lake, including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and many species of panfish. This lake is designated as a big bass lake and specific regulations apply.

Special Note: All Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission rules and regulations apply to all boating and fishing on state park waters. A fishing license is required for people age 16 and over. For complete information on fishing rules and regulations in Pennsylvania, visit the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Web site.

Boating:
Boat launching is provided at the 68-acre Hopewell Lake and the 22-acre Scotts Run Lake. Seasonal boat mooring spaces are available from April 1 to November 1 at each lake. Contact the park office for mooring information.

Boat rentals are available daily at the Hopewell Lake pool complex from Memorial Day to Labor Day and on weekends during May and September.

Motorboats must display a boat registration from any state. Non-powered boats must display one of the following: boat registration from any state; launching permit or mooring permit from Pennsylvania State Parks that are available at most state park offices; launch use permit from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.

Inflatable watercraft devices used on Pennsylvania State Park waters must meet the following requirements: the craft must be made of a tough material, have more than one buoyancy chamber, and be a minimum of seven feet long.

Air propeller driven boats, sea planes, air mattresses and surf boards are prohibited.

Mountain Biking:
Mountain bike riders enjoy the over 20 miles of trails that climb hills, cross streams and pass through forests. The trails explore most parts of the park and are rated difficult riding. Mountain bikes are prohibited south of Park Road and in Hopewell Furnace NHS. Explore the park map the see on which mountain biking is permitted.

Horseback Riding:
8 miles of trails. Horse-shoe Trail winds through the park and into adjacent lands. Horses are not permitted on other park trails.

Hiking:
35 miles of trails. More than 35 miles of well-marked trails cover a large portion of the park’s 7,730 acres. Hikers at French Creek have a wide variety of opportunities for quiet reflection, nature study and physical challenge. Trailhead parking is located in many convenient areas. Explore Trails for complete trail descriptions.

Picnicking:
Tables are located throughout the park with a picnic area by each lake. Picnicking near Hopewell Lake offers easy access to a peaceful place for a family picnic.

Disc Golf:
The course winds through the woods by Hopewell Lake. This activity attracts visitors of all ages, year-round. Sometimes referred to as Frisbee golf, disc golf is a favorite sport for individuals and families. The challenge of tossing a flying disc through the woods is unmatched by any other sport. Friendly, local enthusiasts are always willing to give advice to first-time golfers. Score cards and maps are available at the course.

Orienteering:
The art of map and compass reading has made French Creek State Park a favorite stop for novices and experts. Considered by some as the “Orienteering Capital of North America,” French Creek has developed a permanent self-guiding course for use by visitors of all ages. The objective is to locate markers in the park with the aid of a map, and if you like, a compass. Traveling in groups or alone, running or walking, orienteering is a healthy, fun way to exercise both mind and body. Maps are available at the park office.
