We have managed to establish a contact with Appleby College, the prestigious private school located right by the water in picturesque Oakville, Ontario. The site is essentially a lakeside regulation-sized athletic field bordered by rolling hills, pathways, mature trees and a creek running beside it. The soft green grass and numerous shaded areas will certainly be a welcomed relief from the relentless scorching temperatures we experienced last year on the pavement in Brampton.

You will see from the pictures that there is ample space for many cars to be parked at a safe distance apart from each other. The pics BTW are from last year’s Porsche Concours. I believe that the Porsche show had almost 100 cars at this same venue. Our club (Ontario Z Car Club) usually gets between 110 – 130 cars at our annual show.

After last year's Z Fest I requested and received a number of comments regarding a change of venue. Just about all the respondents wanted the show on grass and shelter from the sun. Well this location will certainly provide for that and then some! Have a look, then mark your calendars and plan to attend!

I didn't get to go to last years Z Fest, 110 cars sounds like a blast. Do you need to sign up to bring a car there or just show up with your Z? Also is it more or a car show or can you bring a stock car?

 

Yeah, with all the new 350Z's out there we're hoping to get 150 cars out to the event this year!

It's a People's Choice Show 'n Shine with "stock" & "modified" awards for all model lines from the original 240Z all the way up to the 350Z and even a category for "Other Nissan Non Z"

As well, we have a DJ, Kruz Radio playing tunes all day long, BBQ, raffle prizes, goodie bags vendors etc.

BTW, if anybody knows of any vendors or possible sponsors who might be interested in showing/selling their products at the event or possibly donating a raffle prize, please let me know.

Thanks a lot!
