Maine Suzuki Auto Meet July 22, 2017
« on: April 01, 2017, 08:54:50 AM »
Do you live in the Northeastern US or Eastern Canada? Do you love your ZUKI and want to MEET others who love theirs too?

Join us in Freeport, MAINE on Saturday, July 22 from 2-6 PM EST.

This is open to all Suzuki models, including models built by Suzuki but rebadged as something else, like a Geo, Tracker, Sunrunner.

The rough plan is: We meet at Gritty's Brew Pub (187 Lower Main St. - http://grittys.com/pubs/freeport/). We can eat together there and use the parking lot as a place to show off our Suzuki's. Then we can take a scenic ride up RT1 and use that time to stop and take photos, stop to shop at the outlet stores, and maybe find a open field to play some games.

Email us at MaineSuzukiMeet|removethispart|@gmail.com to let us know that you’re interested, and we’ll keep you informed as the details unfold.

If you’re on Facebook, join our event at https://www.facebook.com/events/1482649041767534/

For Canadians interested in attending the event, these documents are accepted for entry into the United States via land:
"Canadian citizens can present a valid passport, Enhanced Driver’s License, or Trusted Traveler Program card (NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST)."
So it doesn't necessarily have to be a passport.
See https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/western-hemisphere-travel-initiative

This event is being organized by an SX4 owner from Maine (not me, I'm just helping).

Sorry for taking so long to reply.  This will be our first event.  If it's a success, then perhaps we can turn it into an annual event.  I hope you can join us!

Hi Terry, that's great you are putting this together. If all goes well and you decide to do it again next year, we just make take a long, long road trip and come visit. (I'm close to the 'other' Portland)
