The Third Texas Mercedes-Benz Get Together is coming soon! Caravans leaving from Austin, the DFW Metroplex, and Houston will once again converge upon the midway point between Houston and Dallas on I-45 known as Centerville on Saturday, July 26, 2008 for a day filled with automotive fun! I want this to be the biggest gathering we've had to date. The first time in 2006, we had about 40 cars, the second time in 2007, about 30 cars showed up. This time, I want to see as many cars and people as we can, lets see how many we can get and show them how we do meets down here in Texas, . It doesn't matter what kind of Mercedes-Benz you have, old, new, pristine, ragged, diesel, gas, Sprinter or whatever, we want YOU to attend so that we can have a diverse cross-section of cars and enthusiasts to enjoy the day. Got family members, friends, or neighbors who drive Mercedes-Benzes? Tell them to come on out! Caravans departing from each city will depart at a time that gives them a 12:00 Noon arrival time in Centerville. We will have a BBQ lunch in a room reserved just for us at the world famous Woody's Smokehouse on the NORTHBOUND side of I-45. After everyone has eaten, we'll head 4 miles south of town on old Highway 75 to Fort Boggy State Park for the Show and Shine! There is an admission to the state park, $2 for those age 13 and older. We will hand out awards based on People's Choice for best Vintage Model (Pre 1980), Best 1980s Model, Best 1990s Model, and best 2000-present Model. Bring the camera, PLENTY of water and maybe some sunscreen to the park because it WILL be hot, and have some fun with fellow "BenzNuts".

Sounds like a good time. I was just getting ready to post a thread about any MB meet and greet in the D/FW area. Is there any D/FW owners that meet on a regular basis?

I don't think so, but I'd be in if there were.

That's pretty far from San Antonio.

 

If you're planning on attending tomorrow, please read this carefully for the park.

I'll repeat this tomorrow when we get to the restaurant, but for those of us who read ahead, this will be good info.

When we arrive at the park, you will need to park your car in the entry area (before or after the booth), go in, pay, ($2 dollars per person over 13 years of age). And then you will get a tag to put on your windshield.

DO NOT. I REPEAT, DO NOT ENTER THE PARK WITHOUT PAYING.

The park accepts Cash, Check or Credit card.

This happened last year with another car club and was a big fiasco, with the park ranger police and the lady that worked the booth running after everyone.

 

One more announcement.

Some attendees will be bringing parts and accessories with them to sell. I just would like to let you know that if you buy parts from these sellers, you are doing so at YOUR OWN RISK. I want us all to have fun, but I will not be held responsible for damaged or defective parts, potential harm, injury, or damage caused by defective or improper parts, or lost money, nor will MercedesShop, BenzWorld, MBWorld, or MBCA.
