Hello, Anybody Out There?

Ed Vatza · 04-23-2006, 09:24 PM

Hi there (if anybody's there),

I'm a brand new Prius owner in the Lehigh Valley wondering if there is any organized Prius owners activities in the area. Spring, Summer, Fall are great times for a weekend day or evening get together.

Anything happening?

Hi Ed, I own a 05 Prius and also an Ice Cream store in the Poconos. I've been thinking of trying to get something together, but not sure of what to do except for just setting a day and time and see who shows up. What night is good for you?

Hi there,

I think maybe what we should do is try to stir up a little more activity and interest here on the board and see where it goes. Since this topic has not been active in quite some time, it may take a bit before other local Prius owners stumble across us. I know they're out there.

An ice cream shop sound like it could be a great meeting place. I know the guy who had the local ice cream shop in our town was a Corvette Club guy and they used to have regular get togethers at his place.

What area of the Poconos are you located in?

I guess for now I'd say a Saturday or Sunday would be the best time for us. We could come up, do some hiking and then do the Prius get together thing. But let's see if we can stir up some more interest.

Ice cream? Yeah, I'm there! But we haven't learned where in the Poconos yet. A Sunday would be best for me. Have to work those Saturday mornings.
After I bought Lola in July, there was activity on this site, with talk of a get together. Then it all disappeared. I kept checking, but there was no activity. Maybe with the nicer weather, we can stir something up.

Hi Lola '05,

It looks like a slow build here. We'll keep trying to pump some interest in a get together. Where are you located?

I certainly see enough Priuses around. So hopefully those folks will stunble across this board and be heard. It would be nice to get together with other Prius owners.

Keep checking back for any updates.

Ed

Hi all, Our ice cream store is called "The Junction" it's on Rt. 940 in Pocono Pines. It's an orange and white building so you can't miss it. If you get off of I-380 at exit 3 go WEST on Rt. 940 for about 4 miles maybe a little less. Usually my silver Prius is there behind the building. If you wanna start a meeting on a Sunday that cool. If everybody can agree on a time and a few people are coming I'll mark off part of the parking lot and put my Prius there for "Prius only parking" LOL. Let me know what you all think. Also we are just a take out operation" no inside seating so if it's raining it might not be good for an outside meeting.

Hey, you are way up there. I am just south of Philly. I hit that area in early Sept., a friend has a time share in Hawley,Pa. Right around Labor Day. I'll probabaly track you down then. I really do love ice cream. Are you talking "cream" or custard?

I have a pretty blue umbrella. Rain won't deter me for ice cream.
Lola is clocking in at 57.3 now. I am smiling!!

Hi lola, Will be happy to see you. Lots of people think it's custard but it's really soft ice cream.

Yep, I kinda know where you are. I'm tied up the next couple of weekends but maybe around mid-May, we can shoot up on a Sunday afternoon.

In the meantime, let's keep this thread active and see if we can drum up some more local Prius activity. I know they're out there. I'm seeing them in the parking lots. I'm seeing them on the roads. They just have to find their way here.

Hello There,

Not easter PA, but Central New Jersey (New Brunswick) . Unfortunately it seems there isn't yet a home for us members from the garden state. At 50 MPG I'm willing to make the drive across the border for an event though

Ciao,
Cody
