A Great Location for a New Tradition

For the last two years, Mid-Ohio Region Porsche Club has hosted a fun Porsche gathering in Pinckney, Michigan. For 2005, this event is moving to Oxford, Ohio - which is a truly great venue for a gathering of Porsche lovers.

PORSCHES TO OXFORD (P2O) will take place on Saturday July 30, 2005. For those of you familiar with Oxford (the home of Miami University), you realize we are getting the entire downtown area that has the park, fountain, grass plaza, and band shell. This event initially started in 2003 as a simple excuse for a bunch of Porsche lovers to take a road trip and to have dinner together. Last year over 100 P-cars attended the event held in Michigan. On the agenda for this casual day of enjoying Porsches and their owners is a Participant's Choice Car Show, and a scenic cruise to Hueston Woods State Park -- which promises to be the longest moving line of Porsches in Ohio history!

We have chosen the Elms Hotel (a two year old Holiday Inn) as our "host destination." The Elms is perfectly located right in the heart of Oxford. Adjacent across the street is a parking garage offering covered, secured, parking for those choosing to spend Friday and/or Saturday nights in Oxford. We also have a block of rooms reserved for our group at the Best Western motel which is just a few blocks from downtown.

Saturday night we will have 45 East Bar and Grill (a local, Oxford eating/gathering place) all to ourselves. With a great menu and a convenient location, this will be the perfect place for 300 Porsche lovers to get together on Saturday night for dinner, beverages, and more story telling.

Downtown Oxford offers some great shopping as well as a large number of restaurants - offering literally something for every taste. For those of you who have never toured the beautiful Miami University Campus, it too is within easy walking distance of the downtown area.

Pre-registration for P2O is only $15 per car and includes one event T-shirt with each registration. Those choosing to wait and register the day of show will also pay only $15, but will receive no T-shirt. All monies raised through registration and T-shirt sales are spent on door prizes that will be given out throughout the day.

Advance registrations are strongly encouraged and can be made using the Porsches to Oxford website, www.porsches2oxford.com .

If you only attend one Porsche event in the summer of 2005, this is the one you don't want to miss! With its convenient proximity to Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, Louisville and Lexington, PORSCHES TO OXFORD will indeed be a "great location for a new tradition."
