View Full Version : Brattleboro Vermont Cruise In

Hello all,

As we have a fellow New England Forum member that has joined us from Vermont, I am proposing a M&G for June 21st. I know it is a ways away but with everyones schedule filling up I figured I would throw it out there now.

The local car (http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72795#) people have a M&G at Staples in Brattleboro on Saturdays starting at 5 pm. I have gone to this and actually had some of the locals participate in CFC I. On alternating Saturdays they hang out there for awhile and then cruise down Route 5 to a campground in which the owners are car people. Here is what I propose.

Just off exit 4 in Putney there is a roadside BBQ place called Curtis'. Great food. I say we meet there around 3:30 and hang out and grab a late lunch. Around 5:00 cruise on down to Staples in Brattleboro, ( 12-15 minute ride), and hang out there. I will contact the manager of Staples as last year he took digital pics of you in your car and it was printed on photo paper around 24x18. That was free. You could pay to have it mounted on poster board which most people did. I will bring mine to Hooterspalooza to show anyone who wants to see it. If it is the weekend of the campground holding there cruise in, we can head there as it is only 5-10 minutes away. I will start a list on the second post. If interested, post up. Thanks.

The location is good, a mere 2 hrs for me. I am not so sure about the timing with my new baby due in May and Fathers Day on June 15th. I'll have a better idea when we get closer! Hopefully I can bring the whole family (including the new baby)!

That sounds good. It's been a long time since I've been to VT, I don't think I had my license the last time I was around there.

If the timing is right, and that's when I end up in that neck of the woods, count me and my LWD in!

I'll be hanging out in Londonderry for a couple-3 weeks this summer, so I'll be looking for a few places to go..

Hey Mike,

Since you are going to be up here maybe you would like to go to the Meet & Greet @ 6000'. There is a posting about it on the forum. Give that a check, it will be around the same time you are up here.

Give that a check, it will be around the same time you are up here.I'm already listed as a 'Maybe' on that one - not real sure on the schedule and whether I'll do the hotel thing or just make it a day trip.

First off let me say it was great meeting the new faces. Good seeing you again Gary.

Secondly, The drive up to Brattleboro is AMAZING. That alone made my trip. Not to mention the 2 Statie Chargers I saw on the way up. Nope I didnt get pulled over. They had other people pulled over.

The cars at the cruise were great, a mix of old and new, as well as custom designed. The gentleman holding it was very nice and very well accepting of us being there. He mentioned our club like 3 or 4 times throughout the evening. Very good plug. I think we may have a new member with his son, i believe it is, owning a silver charger himself. Shameless plug on Gary's part.

Great pics Guys. I keep forgetting to bring my cam with me.

I will be meeting up with the FLLX crew when I go to florida. I will take some pics of their cars and post em up.

See you guys when I get back.
