Post All Firebird Lawn Show July 8, 2006 Saratoga NY

If you do only one car show this year, the 4th Annual All Firebird Lawn Show at Saratoga Auto Museum is your MUST-MAKE show! Mark your calendar. The Saturday July 8 show (Rain Date July 9) is a fund raiser for Special Olympics Saratoga. We expect more than 100 Firebirds. All Firebirds, Formulas, Trans Ams, Firehawks, GTAs, Bandits, Machos, Show Cars, Street Cars, Race Cars, Survivors, Classics, Cruisers, Drivers and works in progress... are welcomed to attend. Join your Firebird friends and family. See Birds from six states and Canada. Learn tricks, tips & techniques from fellow Firebird enthusiasts. Meet Special Olympics athletes and coaches. Win prizes. See details near the bottom of this message about how to pre-register.

Also see thread started here: http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16350

Due to many requests, the 2006 show is extended from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Once again, we will offer trophies, resin awards, food, drink, t-shirts, raffles, prizes, and lots of good Firebird fun and Firebird people. If you or your business would like to sponsor an award, drop us an e-mail to tsmith24@earthlink.net with subject line Request Sponsor Info. All donations are fully tax deductible and a written receipt from Special Olympics Saratoga will be provided upon request. There will be no cruise this year. Please drive safely at all times and do a little sun dance for Saturday July 8, 2006

Full Show Info at Firebird Nation of North America website :
http://clubs.hemmings.com/firebirdnationofnorthamerica/

At the website, click on Download page and get copy of the 2006 show flyer, hotel/motel info, registration form, driving directions,... Files are Adobe (pdf) files. These files are yours to post, forward, print, hand out and promote in any way that you deem appropriate in your local area and boards or forums. (Please do not edit these forms in any way). Thanks to Firebird people like you and others from NY, MA, NH CT, VT, NJ, PA, MD, VA, Canada... the All Firebird Lawn Show in Saratoga gets bigger and better every year. We thank you for your help and your support.

If you did not see the online pictures from the 2005 show or previous shows, you can see all of them on the Firebird Nation of North America website on the Firebird Show page or here: http://community.webshots.com/user/ts_in_ss_ny.

May 2006 High Performance Pontiac magazine has a 4 page full color spread featuring the 2005 3rd Annual All Firebird Lawn Show at Saratoga Auto Museum. Thanks to Maria Bagneschi, Steve Soares, and Phil Dickler for their contribution of great photos. The 2005 show is covered in the ONLINE edition of HPP. See the complete story online here: http://highperformancepontiac.com/ev...saratoga_show/

Te 2006 show will offer a Car Corral for those who might want to sell or buy a Firebird. Only cars in the Car Corral will be permitted to display for sale signs. Please reply if you have interest in a Car Corral.

E-mail your questions about the show to tsmith24@earthlink.net. Please put Firebird Show in Subject line.

Here is an idea if anyone has interest. There will be cars coming from VA, MD, NJ and southern NY. Maybe a TA convoy? See the thread here http://www.transamcountry.com/forum/...er=asc&start=0 and here http://www.transamcountry.com/forum/...bd584cdc628f61

If you guys want to arrange a start point from your end, I will pass notice in my next monthly newsletter (make sure you send me an e-mail to tsmith24@earthlink.net and ask to get on the list). If you could plan your start time, we could probably figure a few meeting places on the highway (like at rest stops) where you could meet others along the way going to the show. I did that a few years ago heading west and it worked out pretty well. We had 12 Birds roll in together at a show in Syracuse NY.

Pre-Registration Details
Pre-registration for the 4th annual All Firebird Lawn Show on July 8, 2006 is now open. Pre-Registration is requested (but not required) and helps us plan quantities for food, beverage, t-shirts, raffle prizes and staff for registration, parking, and sales. Send an e-mail to tsmith24@earthlink.net with subject line Firebird Show Pre-Registration. Include your name, city, state, year, make, and model. All pre-registrations will be answered with driving directions and hotel/motel lists for those who want to stay overnight.

THE SHOW IS A GO FOR Saturday JULY 8

THE SHOW IS A GO FOR Saturday JULY 8. PLEASE READ Time Table and Last Minute Details BELOW!

The weather folks have cooperated and forecast sunny skies for Friday and Saturday with morning temps in the 60’s for the drive to Saratoga and rising nicely to 80 to 83 degrees by afternoon for the 4th Annual All Firebird Lawn Show at Saratoga Auto Museum.

All 1967 to 2002 Firebirds, Formulas, Trans Ams, Firehawks, Special Editions, GTAs, Bandits, Machos, Show Cars, Street Cars, Race Cars, Survivors, Classics, Cruisers, Drivers, Hardtops, T-Tops, Convertibles and works in progress... are welcomed to attend. Spectators are also encouraged to attend and donate to Special Olympics.

As a reminder, the purpose and focus of our show is on fundraising for Special Olympics, Firebird fun, and exchange of knowledge. Although our show has many of the trappings of a national event, we strive to maintain a casual atmosphere and minimize the battle for trophies and awards. We hope you will mingle with Firebird enthusiasts & Special Olympics athletes and coaches. We encourage you to be generous with your donations upon entry and generous with your food & t-shirt purchases. We trust you will have a fun Firebird time and enjoy more than 100 wonderful Firebirds that are coming from nine US states and 2 provinces in Canada. We thank you for your attendance & generosity. All money raised is collected by Special Olympics Volunteers and goes directly to Special Olympics programs.

Show Time Table and Last Minute Details:

Friday – July 7: Casual Meeting at Morrisey’s Restaurant parking lot, 3246 South Broadway (Route 9), Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 at 6:00 p.m. All Firebird Nation of North America club members and all Show Participants are invited. Morrisey’s is located on the east side of the road about 1 mile North of the I87 exit 13 interchange and about 3 miles South of the Show Grounds. We will hang in the parking lost for about a ½ hour to give everyone a chance to arrive. From there, we Cruise at 6:30 p.m. to Pizza Hut, 2103 Doubleday Avenue, Ballston Spa, NY, 12020. This is about a 4 mile trip which should take about 10 minutes. Directions: Left out of Morrisey’s to South on Route 9 to Right on Old Post Road (at the Mobil Station) to Right on Northline Road (at the stop sign) to the red light and Left on Route 50 South (Doubleday Ave). Go about .4 miles to Pizza Hut on your right. Park in the Grand Union lot next to Pizza Hut.

** Morrisey’s Restaurant is closed and is for sale. The parking lot is large, empty and a great private place for a meeting with no interference.

** Pizza Hut is located in the Grand Union Plaza. Since the Grand Union is out of business, the parking lot is very large with no other cars so we should have no concerns about other cars or other issues. Pizza Hut says they can accommodate our group with seating, food and beverages.
