2017 Lincoln Event

[Rene]

The group at the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals is thinking about having a special celebration in 2017 for the Lincoln Motor Company's birthday!

I know it seems like it's way early to post about this, but they need our input to see if there's enough interest to plan a special display for this important year. They have stated that the plans are 'in their infancy, and in the development stage', and to feel free to share with clubs and friends to see if they want to promote it. Plans like this take a long time to complete, so the earlier they know the better! This could be really special!!

I found out about this by messaging the Facebook page of the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals. Please contact them online (on or off Facebook) and share your interest

This is something the LOD needs to get heavily involved with since we are the premier Lincoln club at the show. You need to start now, these things take a long time, I worked on the 50th Anniv. El Camino event with Carlisle for over 2 years to make it work.

Sounds like you have the experience we would be looking for! :wink2-green

Of course the Lincolns of Distinction would support this effort. I will contact the Event Manager and let him know they have our support and inquire how we could help.

Leo, thanks for volunteering to help and lend your experience

Carlisle Events has unofficially confirmed this would be one of their events planned for 2017. They plan to officially announce it at this year's Carlisle Ford Nationals weekend.

... however it’s not too early on a club level to start thinking of plans for special things the club may have ideas on. I know a couple of the other clubs are looking at booking dinners and such so they plan on speaking to restaurants and hotels while in town this year.

OK I sent an email to Ken the event manager asking for a meeting over Ford weekend. I'll keep El Presidente posted.
