The weather could not have been better for this years Fall Foliage Driving Tour.  The group traveled together from Columbus southeast to Bearfield township and the farm retreat of members Scott and Gail Klabunde.  We dropped off our coolers and chairs and enjoyed the beautiful fall scenery while we waited for a few more members to join us.  We were soon ready to start an all new route which I had planned.

PORSCHES2OXFORD SET TO ATTRACT RECORD CROWD
On Saturday July 26th, upwards of 350 shiny Porsches are expected to line the quaint brick streets of uptown Oxford. P2O registrar Marty Reich said, “As of June 10th, we are running more than sixty percent ahead of this same time last year”. Cars are coming from as far away as Florida -- with registrants coming from 17 states and Canada.
Marketed by Mid-Ohio Region Porsche Club as a ‘casual Porsche party’, P2O is celebrating its fourth year in Oxford after two years in Pinckney Michigan. In 2007 more than 250 Porsches attended this nationally recognized event. Co-chairperson Brice Kadel said, “MORPCA has gotten a lot of great publicity in the last year for hosting a great event in a unique venue. The fact that PCA National President Prescott Kelly and his wife Pam are returning again this year for the second time speaks volumes about P2O. The Kelly’s have the opportunity to attend ten PCA events each weekend in the summer and the fact that they are attending P2O two years in a row is a testimonial to what’s been created.” Read More...

Mid-Ohio Region Porsche Club was recently recognized in a major article in the March 2008 edition of Pano for their support of Porsches2Oxford. Written by PCA National President Prescott Kelly (who, with his wife Pam, traveled all the way from Connecticut to attend); Prescott pointed out many of the factors that help make P2O a success.
P2O Co-Chairperson Brice Kadel said, “Prescott did us a real favor with his recent article -- writing that “Porsches2Oxford is a relaxed, low key event that has become one of the premier Porsche car shows in the country”. We’ve always been unsuccessful in getting Pano to publish an article, so this is a big shot in the arm for the event.” With the help of this national coverage in Pano, P2O expects to attract over 300 Porsches to the quaint brick streets of uptown Oxford on Saturday, July 26th.
In 2007, over 250 shiny Porsches attended from 14 states and Canada – representing over 20 different PCA clubs. This year prizes will again be providing awards to the top 35 vote-getting cars in the “People’s Choice Car Show”, and over $3000 worth of great door prizes will be given away. Read More...
