Hey all!
I'm working with my dealership on getting a Scion Event planned. They asked me for some ideas of what to do at an Event. They can schedule to have the lot cleared out, have Scions to test drive etc, but what else would be fun to do at a Scion Event? Ideas I had (stupid or not) are below. If you have any others PLEASE PLEASE post them. Shoot down any of mine that you don't think are good ideas, but please tell why also. We are looking at having the event in the spring at Jordan Scion in Mishawaka.

Ideas for event:
- Few Mod Contests (Outside appearance, Inside appearance, Sound, Engine, etc.) NOTE: Contests entries would only be accepted for Scion vehicles.
- Perhaps some Scion trivia with various prizes
- DJ or Radio Remote
- Service dept. available to ask questions
- General "here's my ride" showcase (for all vehicles)

Any others?

Food and Scion prizes are a must. Best of contests sound good. A radio remote would definately bring the masses. Maybe a caravan around afterwards. The more Scions that show up the better it will be.

Where do they live? I'm not sure that the police here in Mishawaka would do anything like that, for anyone. They would consider it some kind of parade, and that would have to pass through City hall, of which won't do anything like this that I'm aware of.

The caravan idea sounds fun, but where would we go? If we did it on a Friday night, we could caravan down the strip (US-20) around 10pm and park in the Kmart lot or something.

Out of the dealer to Mckinley right on Main St all the way to Cleveland Rd left on Grape Rd back to Mckinley and stop at whatever parking lot.

That sounds good. I'm hoping to hear back from the dealer sometime soon. I'll update everyone once I get more info. Keep the ideas coming!
