Great Lakes Region: Winter Meet & Greet

Post by The PIG Smith »

It is time for the Great Lakes Region to have our annual Winter Meet & Greet.
Zack Heisey of Z&M Jeep will host at his shop on February 8, 2014
The address is: 1298 Conant Street, Maumee, OH 43537

We meet at 11:00, tour Zack's shop, benchtop wheel, checkout other members rigs.
Afterwards, (between 12-1) we go to Frickers for a nice lunch (typically wings)
Being well fed and watered, some leave and go home, others go back to Zacks.
This event concludes about 4-5PM or whenever Zack wants to go home and throws us out of his shop.

We have been doing this for about 8 years or so.

You do not need a FSJ to attend.
I've not taken one in years.

Is the same weekend every year? No.
It's about the same time frame.

It mostly happens as a course of a "Hey, let's get together, swap some lies, eat some wings"
I would say most of the players in these M&G hang out over on the 'Mothership'.
That is where this conversation starts and the plans/dates made.

Zack normally has those parts in stock, but I would drop him an email to make sure.
