Cruising through Summer 2018

Details

Published: 20 June 2018

Northern Ohio members have a variety of activities to keep them entertained them throughout the summer. We end June as the featured marque/car organization at Gervasi Vineyard’s Wednesday night Cruise-In on June 27. If you haven’t registered already, do so soon, so we and the winery can plan accordingly.

You have less than a month to finalize your plans for O’Fest, taking place during the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. If you consider all the events and activities, you have almost two weeks of fun from which to select!

Right afterwards, the Crawford Aviation and Auto Museum will host a Coffee & Cars segment at their Macedonia-based Restoration-Preservation Facility. Just make a reservation with Crawford and let us know you’ll be attending.

We close out July with a special summer social cruise on the Portage Lakes. We’re renting the covered and windowed Portage Princess pontoon boat for a late Sunday morning two-hour tour of the eight-lake waterfront. You’ll be able to enjoy the water and views while mixing with members. This is a reservation-only limited-seating event, so book early with us!

There’s a lull in the action in August which would allow those interested to participate in or to visit Buckeye Chapter’s Mid-Ohio Driving Experience before we consider a busy September.

Our first fall excursion has us headed to one of the nation's largest candy stores to get a head start on Sweetest Day and Halloween. Not only can you buy vintage brands of candy but you also can visit a well-stocked soda shoppe and challenge each other to rounds of miniature golf.

At the end of September we cross three counties to moor at Royal Docks Brewing Company where American craft beer meets the British pub—complete with red call box (aka tardis).

For details on all the mentioned events and for reservation instructions, check under the left-side Upcoming Club Events or from the upper horizontal navigation, Chapter Info, scrolling down to List All Chapter Events.

Plan to come out, meet, and participate with fellow BMW enthusiasts!

Enjoy the summer safely!

Moving into Spring of 2018, here's the most recent news for members.

Following up on the February Board meeting, there are on-going discussions with several groups regarding potential 2019 track possibilities.  When available, the information will be presented to the Board and then to our members.

The first drive of 2018 will be Sunday brunch at Brix 35° in Green and then a short drive to the MAPS (Military Aviation Preservation Society) Air Museum to learn about their restoration and preservation activities. Aviation exhibits augment those efforts at the facility.

Here's a special call out to parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents and other related elders of young drivers between ages 16 and 21! On April 29, Northern Ohio co-hosts a Tire-Rack® Street Survival Program with Mahoning Valley Region SCCA. This excellent program for young drivers teaches them things they should know, but frequently may not learn in basic driver education courses. Encourage attendance!

On May 20^th meet for Sunday buffet brunch at the Blue Canyon Restaurant in Twinsburg.  After the meal, an organized drive explores back roads to the Kent State University Fashion Museum. Current displays include: For the Birds—highlighting meaning and representation of winged ones in different cultures and media in conjunction with the centennial U.S. Migratory Birds Act; Fringe Elements—covering textile ornamentation from tassels to leather; and an anniversary exhibit of Katharine Hepburn’s iconic clothing from the stage, screen, and personal archives.

June starts with a long countryside drive from Chagrin Falls to the Debonne Winery in Madison for the annual winery tour. The month is bookended by another wine event, as the Chapter hosts BMW as the featured marque at Gervasi Vineyard’s Wednesday night Cruise-In on June 27.

And, there’s more to come!  Registration for O’Fest to be held during the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in July is now open. Make vacation plans and pick events to attend!  Interested in volunteering during O’Fest?  Use the contact form at O'Fest's web site: http://ofest.bmwcca.org/contactus.
