3rd
Annual Festiva Madness Meet will be October 3rd 2009 in Raleigh, NC
All Ford Festiva and Aspire owners join us for
an afternoon of car talk with other Festiva /Aspire lovers.
21 Festivas and 2 Aspires were at the 2008 meet. I have been receiving e-mails
and phones calls weekly about this get together and at this time, the numbers
could be 30 to 35 cars at this year?s event.
The plan is to meet between 10:30 and 2:00 at
the Poyner Place Shopping Center behind Triangle Town Center Mall to eat and
talk and check out each others' rides for the afternoon. There are several food
places there, Shane?s Rib Shack, Dominic?s NY Pizzeria, Bake House Bistro, and
Cold Stone Creamery.
For mapping purposes, use 5811 Poyner Village Parkway, Raleigh, NC 27616. The
location is ½ mile south of I-540 at exit 17 Triangle Town Blvd. When you get
off the exit, you can only go south. Go through the stop light then turn left
into the shopping center and make the first right onto Poyner Village Parkway
to the end.

If your GPS unit allows you go enter LAT & LON coordinates directly, they
are:
LAT = 35.863477, LON = -78.569769
In the unlikely event of rain, we have permission to use the (never used)
parking deck on the other side of the restaurants, so don?t let the threat of
rain keep you away.
Bring camp chairs for seating near the cars please. If your ?significant other?
doesn?t want to spend the afternoon talking cars, bring them along and let them
go shopping! Between the shopping center and the mall, there are tons of shops.
The food places are in two buildings on the right on either side of a pond.
Shane?s has a large indoor seating area and there is plenty of outside seating
for eating near the water. We are proposing Shane?s for lunch, but the other
options are there for those who don?t like ribs or BBQ. Who doesn?t like ribs?
And you can head next door for ice cream for dessert if you have room! See pics
below.
For all who drive their Festiva or Aspire to the meet, there will be free event
t-shirts. If you are planning to come, please email me with your t-shirt size
so I can be sure to have enough shirts made up.
If you have parts to sell or swap, bring them along! And bring pictures. Door
prizes are still in the planning stages.
Anyone who has questions or needs more information can PM or mailto:festivarescue@cs.com or call me.
919-271-5190.
