John, when was the Dearborn Experience that you went to? I went to the very first Ford Escape Experience which was shortly after the vehicle entered production. I didn't get a hat but I did get a t-shirt (it's either made of hemp or organic cotton - I forget which). |
Welcome to the club, Sledge. You are the first responder interested in the NAIAS who represents a hybrid other than the FEH. And best wishes for your relationship with you new HCH.
Given that weekdays and evenings seem to be out, we should probably target a Saturday or Sunday. That means Jan. 14, 15, 21, 22. Since some of the announcements may occur during the week, I suggest one of the two latter days. Perhaps Saturday, Jan. 21 would be best.
The "Dearborn Experience" (aka "The Ford Escape Hybrid Experience") I refer to was held on Oct. 8-9, 2005 by the Ford Motor Company at their Dearborn Development Complex. FEH owners from across the continent were invited for a seminar to exchange information with the Ford Development Team. The FEH had been in production more than a year at that time.
I got a baseball cap with the Ford hybrid logo, two t-shirts (one a momento of the event and the other for the Mercury Mariner Hybrid - just out!), a CD for the MMH, two pencils made of recycled materials, and a water bottle (which did not fit the cupholder in the FEH!).
