Spiedie Fest - Aug. 2nd & 3rd, 2008

Saturn Corp will be back this year!!! Saturn of Binghamton is getting one of Saturn's mobile event team trucks again to display the new cars and more!!!

This will be a great weekend. We'll be able to include everything people like to do:
  • Cruise through the hills either Saturday before dinner... ending at the Spiedie Fest.
  • Dinner Saturday night with cruise-in.
  • Car Show Sunday morning through the afternoon.
  • Hot air balloon rides??? There are 5 launches *6am and 6pm daily Fri - Sun*. A very unigue opportunity at a car show. Bob "GetAboutRL" was able to hitch a ride in a balloon this past year... I rode about 15 years ago. From what he said, they are still a blast!!!

At the Spiedie Fest, there are also Concerts, Arts & Crafts, Beach Volleyball Competition, Children's/Small Amusement Rides, Spiedies... Spiedies... Spiedies... and other foods.

Spiedie Fest 2007

There is a drag strip that may have Test & Tune that evening, will have to check on that.

Welcome Skyview Drags Online Notice the name??? SKYView Drags???

I saw in last years thread that some thought of making it a get away weekend. Not only would the hot-air balloons be romantic... but there are some nice get away B & B/Hotels in the area.

The Chestnut Inn at Oquaga Lake
Scotts Oquaga Lake Family Resort
OquagaLake.com Both the above are on Oquaga Lake

There are other places all over... if you would like a suggestion for certain type of place, please let me know.

Many chain hotels as well.

Attendance list:
1: todaresqSL2 - Sky - 1

Quick update on the concerts... The Marshall Tucker Band has been replaced by:

It looks like Bad Company may be using this as a warm up for their one-night reunion concert they are playing at the Hard Rock Florida about a week later.
