May 20th official first date for this now that Eastern Hills has been purchased.
Thank you to everyone for reaching out to us over the last few weeks in regards to the recent purchase of Eastern Hills Mall by Uniland Development, we’ve been waiting to see what this meant for our event and we finally have our answers.
Starting with the good news; Cars and Coffee will continue to meet throughout 2018 at the Mall property and our event is not one of the events that is being discontinued.
For the not as great news; With this purchase we needed to come back to the table and resubmit / reapply for our special events permit once it matched up and was approved by Uniland; unfortunately this process has taken longer than we had hoped for, so we will not be able to meet in April for our season opener.
We will however be meeting for the season opener on May 20th, and look forward to seeing the Buffalo automotive community once again. (A small plus that the weather should be much more agreeable in May, and slightly warmer)
Just seeing this notification, and someone beat me to my post as well; Unfortunately with the mall we are being pushed back a month, however all things consider with weather, etc I am happy we are still on track to have another season. Early on in the talks before the deal was finalized it was not looking like we would get the thumbs up, as many of you know Uniland does not appreciate parking lot gatherings as much as we do.
I’ll post up if any new details come my way, for now though we are on for May 20th. (On a side note, I am still putting looking for the last few 2018 sponsors for those interested)
You should bring it, there are lots of different makes & models that show up. Just don’t expect to be placed / parked near the more typical cars & coffee vehicles. I usually find a spot well away from the “core” of the meet.
The event where a Volvo would definitely fit would be the Euro Car Day @ Rose Garden Grove & Restaurant.
My fingers are crossed for ya. They’re not the easiest to work with in my experience.
NYSpeed really should be sponsoring this, but at the moment all of our l00t is tied up in software changes :silent:
Hopes and dreams. I hope that is the weather we get! Unfortunately local and national weather services have been forecasting precip with about 10% accuracy lately. It is a joke
