Buttonwood Farms. Griswold, CT ::Meet July 13th!::

Id like to set up a Mini meet at Buttonwood Farms. in Griswold, CT.
Sometime in August...
and I dont really see any mini meets for this side of the state
http://www.buttonwoodfarmicecream.com/

I have seen quite a few modded Coopers there in the past couple of months.

They have a huge parking lot, so space wouldnt really be an issue I dont think. And if anyone has been there they know its probably the best ice cream in CT.



Heres the plan

Meet at Buttonwood Farms on July 13th at 1:00pm(?)
After a while, we will all leave at once(Those who want to do the scenic drive.)
Rt.169N. Travel through Glasgo->Griswold->Jewett City->Canterbury->Brooklyn->and end in Pomfret
At the Vanilla Bean Cafe...get some food, drinks, hang out



This is who we have for
July 13th: (NEmini/NAM/Massmotoring)

Alright this is whats planned so far.

A few people want one sooner, so Hotel came up with a date of July 13th.  Which is a sunday.

Along with that, there will still be a meet at Buttonwood Farms on the weekend of August 2nd(Lets hear what day will work for everyone)
We will also be doing a scenic drive from Buttonwoods, through griswold, canterbury, brooklyn,and Pomfret.
This is Route 169; And we will end up at the Vanilla Bean in Pomfret, CT where people can get some food, drinks, and hang out.


July 13th - Meet at Buttonwoods get some ice cream hang out
August 2nd - Buttonwoods + Mini Cruise up Rt. 169N to the Vanilla Bean Cafe.

Now if the Majority of people can make it on July 13th; We will do the Cruise/Drive then.

let us know.

Send me a Private message telling me what day you would prefer.
