(ET) 2008 Elec-Trak Meet - Crysler Ontario?

[Darryl McMahon <darryl econogics com>]

I won't be able to make the meet-up this year, as much as I would like 
to do so.

Yesterday, I attended the Damfest event at the Crysler Community Centre, 
  near Morrisburg Ontario.  I was there with my vintage electric 
motorcycle (a 1974 Auranthetic Charger), and officially became an "Old 
Bastard" - that is, a member of the Old Bastard Vintage Motorcycle Club 
(named after the former County of Bastard, eliminated in 1999 with 
provincial restructuring of municipalities).

I also had my Elec-Trak E12 there, as there was supposed to be a garden 
tractor show, with tractor pull.  Due to some confusion on part of the 
tractor organizers, no other tractors showed up - so the Elec-Trak was 
shown with the motorcycles - including some real beauties like a mint 
Ducati shown by its original owner, and the oldest running BMW bike in 
Canada.  Lovely old BSA's and Triumphs, including a (1938?) Triumph 
motor-bicycle.  Small, one cylinder engine on rear wheel, plus original 
pedal drive.  Much, much more unique stuff, including running steamboats 
offering rides and close to 100 vintage cars.  The Elec-Trak generated a 
lot of positive attention.

Anyway, the park is a nice venue, on the river, in a nice small village. 
 This is now an annual event, so I can get a date for next year 
shortly.  The village is not far from the upstate New York border, so 
this could be a reasonable trip for those of us in southern Ontario, 
eastern Ontario, much of Quebec, NY state and possible other parts of 
New England.

I think the vintage motorcycle group would sponsor us for some space - 
the current group president is a former Elec-Trak owner, an another 
member is a former local EV club member.  A third has expressed interest 
in buying my motorcycle.

So, would anyone else be interested in having an electric tractor 
meet-up in eastern Ontario in June 2008?  If so, please let me know, and 
if there is interest, I will start getting something organized.
