This past weekend was fun! It was the first Fiat Meet Up of the season that Dale and I were able to make! We first met another couple in Jamestown, NY, and then headed to Dunkirk, NY, to meet up with a group that was traveling from Buffalo, NY. After chatting for a while we all headed over to Erie, PA. There were about 12 or 13 cars that was on the ride! It was a little cool and windy but at least the sun was shining! The reason for the meet up was to get a group of us from the Western NY - Southern Ontario Fiat Club over to the Grand Opening for Auto Express Fiat Alfa Romeo of Erie. During their Grand Opening of the Fiat Dealership they were raising money for an animal shelter there, too! Dale and I made a small donation. I think they raised over $1,000 for the shelter that day. After we all left the dealership after spending a couple of hours there many of us went to Southern Tier Brewery in Lakewood/Busti, NY, and enjoyed the sun, some of the group ate, and others tried some of the brews. There was a Reggae/Folk Fusion type band that played on the outdoor stage and we listened for a bit. After Dale and I left the group we went out for dinner. It was a great day! We met some new people and met up again with some new friends we made from last year, too! Oh! We took our Abarth - not the Fiat 500 Pop - but we hope to take both of the cars to an upcoming cruise-in soon!
In case you are trying to find me in the photo above - I'm the one in the grey shirt next to the guy in the blue shirt to the left of the red car. The guy in the blue is Dale.
Sunday - my mom and I traveled over to Nobel Winery near Westfield, NY, to meet up with my sister who was putting on a bridal shower for her soon-to-be-sister-in-law. It was the first time I met her. But it was a nice day and I am always happy to see my sister!
Monday - Dale and I did some yard work. We did some major trimming of the trees in our front yard...which isn't much of a yard since we live so close to the street...we will call it our front garden instead. It was long over due and now it's done...it looks much better. So YEAH it was a busy weekend! What did you do?
Great pic and sounds like a fun weekend. So nice to get caught up in yard work, we're still finishing up the front yard catch up.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite ready for this upcoming weekend but it should be another interesting one, too, we have a Wildtree event at an event called Women in The Outdoors! Last year we did it and it was neat but I didn't take pics - I need to take some this year :)
