PICS would do it more justice. I have been to the strawberry festival many times & it is a beautiful place, including several long rope bridges that span the small river/creek that runs through it. It isnt too far from the beach, yet, its not too close either. See if you could snap some pics this weekend of the olohan valley parkway and the other parking areas. Also dont forget to mark the TIME it takes to get to the beach.

im perfectly cool with raffles, prizes, awards, stickers, shirts...just didnt feel the need for large corporate sponsors with test drive models of the 2012 tl lol..sponsors would still be cool, they can set up tents/booths even if its at a park...

who ever is checking out the park should check for music regulations.

From where my car is to the white Altima is on the left has parking on the opposite side. then there is parking all the way down as you can see. there is also parking behind me
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryangee87/5868328628/

this is the creek area. im wearing shorts and flip flops so i wasnt about to go down there (i.e i hate spiders)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryangee87/5868328202/

this is some of the shaded area. there is more benches+sitting area across the creek, but there were kids playing on the bridge, so i wasnt able to snap some pics
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryangee87/5868327718/

parking
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryangee87/5867770853/

this is the area behind me in the first pic. i think we can easily fit 100 cars in here

http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryangee87/5868326832/

my gf doesnt seem to think Arroyo Grande would let us have the area, but we wont know until we ask. Ill try to get some pictures on my way out on sunday. hopefully there wont be as much cars as there was today.

For what it is worth here is my thoughts, with the new marketing Acura is doing with the TL, Thor, commercials etc, Fresno Acura's loyalty to Acurafest does it not make more sense to hold the event with in there general Local, as last year my understanding was they pushed Acura to partcipate No offense meant to other gathering's being held with AZer's but Acurafest was well done perhaps one of the best. Chukchansi did a great a great job for us it was reasonableto stay and they really treated us all well. The pool area where everyone gathered was pretty awesome. Fresno may have been warm but at least we were welcomed and had a great egathering and event plus it is close for the Acura King's home base for him to work his magic for all of us

Although big props for last year, it was a great meet. Just kinda commercialized versus being more personal.

^ nothing wrong with last years meet I did not feel as though it was commercialized at all. I voted for Chumash but next choice would be Chuckachansi... It was a great hotel to stay at fun for everyone and made the day worth the long drive.... my feelings is if its going to be an all cali acurafest its better to make it more legit than just "hey lets meet at the park guys..." just my thoughts

Well I think thats how some of the members felt, there was a lot of vender booths and things like that, especially compared to all-cali meets of the past. But I really enjoyed last year's meet too and have no problem with the same format.
