Default Velocity meet up

So all I ever hear about is guys having donzi, nortic, fountain and other makes fun runs and meets. Doesn't even have to be a huge organized meet. Just some guys and the Velocity's on a cruise and stop for some good food and some "few" beers. I was thinking Hudson River? Usually nice area up north to get some good food and have a nice run. So what's all the velocity owners think?? I'd have to travel from PA but would totally be okay with other suggestions.

For what it's worth, my advice is to leverage already organized Fun Runs (i.e. Lake Sacandaga) or Poker Runs (the Battleship Run on Seneca Lake) for multiple Velocity get together options. If someone is going to travel 100+ miles to attend, a nicely organized weekend event makes the trip a lot more worthwhile. You'll also see better attendance as there will already be Velocities attending - which definitely attracts more owners. Having organized the "Velocity-only" Velocity Fest runs in MD and in FL 10+ years ago, I know there's a large amount of local leg work, planning and outreach to get a decent number of folks to attend and more importantly, to ultimately have a great day on and off the water together. Unfortunately, I don't think a Velocity Fest is very feasible these days. Wish this wasn't the case.

It might be interesting for us to list our 2017 fun run / poker run schedules and connect things up from there?

I agree with piggybacking a fun run as Revelocity stated... I would stay away from Lake George as the majority on the lake do not seem to appreciate "performance" boats any longer....not to mention the local water police( noise & speed restrictions).... the Sacandaga Fun Run is a great event but it is limited to one day... doesn't mean you can't stay the weekend.... you'll meet a good group of boaters I'm sure....

Good idea. I will start. We will be at the following Poker Runs.

1. Battleship Run at Seneca Lake NY, July 15&16
2. Buffalo NY Poker Run August 11&12
