I, also am interested to hear if there was a gathering.
I am new to this site, and live in the Madison area.
I am interested in any upcoming gatherings or helping to organize one.
Maybe even a scenic cruise up to the Merrimac Ferry sometime. (If it's running!)
I have only gotten to see the Prius from afar and would love to swap hybrid stories.

 

Hi All:

___03/07 can be a bit dicey around here … How about a real get together of Hybrid enthusiasts up at Miller Park in Milwaukee? I was there to watch the Brewers and the Cubs late last year and not only was it not sold out; there was Mini-Cooper rally w/ maybe 100 Mini’s from all over the Midwest there that day. There isn’t a better ball park in all of the Midwest and probably in all of baseball for that matter … It makes for a hell of a great Hybrid enthusiast get together/meeting place.

___Good Luck

Wayne,
I like the idea of a Miller Park outing.
That may have a wider appeal and draw a larger hybrid audience.
Even though I live near Madison, I have not been to Miller Park yet.
It would be a good excuse to go.

I would be interested in organizing something if I had some help.

Maybe I'll move this to it's own thread so as not to clutter this one.

 

Done

 

Thanks, Jason!

Well with the help of the Internet I found the site for group information.
Gee, looks like we could get a suite for "only" $3800.
What a deal!

Seriously though, it look like there's lots of options.

If we purchase the tickets as a group of 25 or more we get

Ticket Cost:
Currently, there is special pricing for the Terrace Reserved tickets.

Regularly these tickets are $12, but right now they are available for only $9, plus you get a free soda and hot dog.

To me, this seems to be the best value. I am taking feed back up through March 14 regarding other ticket options. Barring any changes, this will be the tickets the group purchases.
