I would like to invite those of you who are interested to my annual Shelby picnic on July 15th starting at 11:00 AM. Rain date will be July 22nd.

The party this year will be held at Roseland Park in Woodstock, CT. Roseland Park has lots of fun stuff for the whole family. There will be swings, slides, a jungle gym, large sandbox, fishing areas, paved walking and biking areas and lots of shade. All of this overlooking a beautiful lake.

We will be cooking hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch. There is no need to bring anything except your Shelby or Cobra!

Directions to the party can be found at Mapquest.com (204 Roseland Park Rd. Woodtock, CT. 06281) or email for directions.

Please R.S.V.P by July 9th with a head count and how many cars to
860-928-1551 or email jkbentley@charter.net

If the weather is a question the morning of the party, we can be reached at 860-377-5645.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Am I allowed in with a camera and a tape measure or does that classify me as a public nuisance?

That's fine. Just RSVP via email or phone.

Jay,

Thanks for the heads up! Will try to be there, working on the family side of it. Will RSVP soon.... Will you be doing the NE Cannonball run?

Nick,
Will you be taking the family?

Finally on the road for 2007!
Jeff

I plan to be there as well, and looking forward to it!!

mickmate · #6 (**permalink**) 06-11-2007, 04:13 PM

I'm in. It will be nice to meet a few more NEers.

Just to clarify, all cobras are welcome. We have this picnic every year and it doesn't matter who made your car or when it was built. We just like to get together and have fun with them. Shelby mustangs, Boss cars, and Panteras usually show up for the fun also.

With the response so far it looks like it's going to be a big one!

Just RSVP by July 9th and let us know how many in your car.

Jay, as we come near your meet this weekend, is there anything we need to know? Any special directions of where to meet up with you once we arrive at the park? What will we be doing with the cars? Will we be taking them off the trailer, and then I assume we'll just be lining them up together for everyone to drool over in mini- car show fashion? Anything else we need to know?

jay bentley · #9 (**permalink**) 07-08-2007, 09:57 PM

We will be lining up the cars on the grass around the park. The cars wont be out of our sight. There is a place to unload the trailer when you pull into the park on the right hand side. There are about 50 cars and 100 people that have said they are coming.

I think I am going to drive the car up there from Long Island. I figure I'll take the Orient ferry over, and then it looks like maybe an hour and a half drive to Woodstock. If I wasn't taking the ferry then I'd trailer it up because it would be a WAY longer drive.

I'll be there if the weather is OK. I cannot miss Nick climbing under every CSX and taking pictures.

1985 CCX · #12 (**permalink**) 07-10-2007, 05:50 PM

I will be praying to the weather gods the rest of this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will se Nick rolling out of mine upon arrival. I am sure he will have the Nikon 35mm Zoom to Zoom ready!

jay bentley · #13 (**permalink**) 07-10-2007, 06:35 PM

I think the weather will be fine. It looks like a possible late day shower. 30% chance. I'm sure it will be a great day.

Some years several CSX cars show up and some years just a couple. You never know until the afternoon of the party.

Jay,
2 of us plan to attend. If we are too late on the RSVP for food etc. do not worry about us.

Thanks

jay bentley · #16 (**permalink**) 07-12-2007, 07:39 AM

Food is not a problem. I'll see you on Sunday.

TButtrick · #17 (**permalink**) 07-14-2007, 08:28 AM

Can FPSB Cobras with perky butts come? I promise I won't be a snob just because you drive REAL Cobras.

...and I am playing "chase car" for Sal.

We are both going over on the ferry.....

Glad to have you. It looks like a late day or evening shower or T-storm. So the weather looks like it will be fine for the party. See you then!

Can't wait!

I will have Nick (Mickmate) as a navigator and official photoman. We will be in the company of Mike and Donna in thier 07 Shelby. Anyone else from NH or MA headed? If so, we should all meet somewhere down where Rt2 and 495 meet........

Still planning on my wife in a separate car however today's breakfast and NHIS track day may have driven away her courage?

Looking forward to meeting everyone.
