This is the tentative date so keep this date open. I am arranging an event at the Firewheel Town Center in Garland. http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=1074
We would be able to park around the plaza which is centrally located so we would get a lot of spectators. We have to arrive around noon to get the reserved spaces. There are a lot of restuarants, stores and etc. Ladies can enjoy strolling to the different stores. I am working out the details with the Dir. of Marketing about possible giveaways and such. Sport City will participate and I have request from Scion of Dallas to help too, I have also asked if we could sell some tickets for the Fowler Scion giveaway, but don't know if that will be possible yet. This is a fairly new shopping district and unique to the metroplex, check out the web site. I am wanting some feed back as to who would want to come. This is one week after Houston's Expo 2006. This will be an opportunity to have fun, show off to the public and try some interesting restuarants.
One thing we can't do is blast our stereos, but I don't think that will be a problem. If anyone has suggestions let me know. I am trying to figure a way for the public to vote on the cars for trophies or prizes.
http://www.simon.com/mall/show_floorplan.aspx?ID=1074
You can see the plaza and we would park on it's perimeter.
Well the date is set in stone now. Please remember I am not a dealership so look at this as a get together more than a dealership event. We do have dealership sponsership and I am working this out with them. Come have a good time, a good lunch at one of the many resturants and stroll the Town Center.
Do people care if we do best ofs or just do some prizes. I am hoping I can get the public to vote on our cars, but I don't know if they will. Any ideas welcome. Please attend!!
I just talked to the the Director of Marketing for Firewheel. I need as many as can to be there by 10AM. I know this is early but they want us in parking spaces as soon as we can. Anyone that can especially the ones from this area if you could be here around 9:30 would help me keep the spaces reserved. This mall fill up pretty quick around Noon when the stores and restuarants open. I am not doing best ofs but every car will get a ticket for the doorprizes. So far I have commitments from Sport City, Scion of Dallas, Scion of Lewisville and probably Fowler. I am also hoping the Center will contribute. The Director is working on that. Thanks hope to see everyone there.

We are parking around the Plaza to make us more noticiable and away from the hot parking lot. There is seating on the plaza and rest rooms across the street. Mostly we want to be seen by the public.

My company is going to give away a gently used retired Garland ISD, 25" television, which would be good for a bedroom, garage or kids. I am not going to do trophies, just drawings. Each car will get one ticket, not everyone in the car where one family wins several prizes, to give the guys that come alone an equal chance. Some dealerships are contributing and hopefully the Town Center too but no confirmation on that yet. Anyway come out and socialize, and check out the Town Center. There is a play area in the plaza, fountain with fish and also the kids stores are adjacent to one side of the plaza so kids can have fun too.
PM me if you need my cel number or directions.

not to argue with anyone or anything ,,, but I live so close to the mall I can hear the chimes go off when the tower clock rings,,,
but I don't think they'd care too much about a stereo playing loud - there has been concerts, fireworks shows, and all kind of stuff up there, if it's a planned event I wouldn't worry...
Someone asked about food - I dunno if you meant catering - but there's a TGI Fridays, potbelly, spring creek BBQ, outback, & olive garden down the street, what-kind-of-burger, wendys, etc.
There's a huge-mongous AMC movie theatre, CircuitCity, Barnes & noble, and a bunch of other shops & stores.
If I'm in town I'll be there for sure.

05-24-2006, 09:36 AM
saylor we must be neighbors because I can see the Center from my kitchen window. We can play the stereos loud but we will be right next to an open cafe and people coming to the Plaza, if we are asked we have to turn the stereos down. We just can't cause a disturbance. You are right about the food there is a ton of choices. I want people to eat in the Center because I don't want anyone to drive off in their car during the event because we are parking in a busy area. In fact since you are close I am looking for a few volunteers to help hold off the parking spaces until everyone arrives. I need people to come around 9 to 9:15 to help. Mike and I will be there.
If everyone could please post up if you are coming so we can get an estimate of spaces needed. Thanks!

The marketing director called me today and they were doing a news release on our show and wanted to know our club. I gave her StyleWagons, Scikotics, and Scion Evolution. I don't know where this release is being given because I am still trying to get promotional discounts and prizes from the Center. She is to give me the word tomorrow. I also was given a couple of sidewalk spaces for some cars and I may let people rotate to the these prominent spots on the sidewalk, but you need to have something a little eye catching...we will see how it goes. If you are stock do not I repeat do not hesitate to come, you have a chance at the prizes and we were all stock at one point. If you are a newbie this will be a great time to meet some in the community and see who's who on Scion Life and Scikotics.
