The Northeast Spring Fling 2010

The date for this year's Spring Thing Fling will be Sunday, May 23nd, 9 am to 4 pm at Harriman State park in NY. This year will be a casual gathering without trophies or awards. Just an opportunity for fellow Thing owners to get together and celebrate the greatest car ever made! A Thing parts swap meet, cookout, games for the kids and other fun stuff is all being planned. We also have a new Spring Thing Fling tradition... Slim's coveted "Thing Punch" will be part of the festivities.

The central meeting area is at Lake Welch Beach in Harriman State Park. Note that there are 3 large parking lots at Lake Welch. We will be meeting at PARKING LOT 3 (the main parking lot located directly behind lake Welch beach - see map below). As the event will be taking place before Memorial day there are no fees for parking or admittance to the beach. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed at the park.

There are picnic tables, charcoal grills and restroom facilities next to the lot, and the beach is only a short walk away. Feel free to bring along E-Z Up tents, folding chairs and your favorite food for the grills.

For those who want to make a weekend out of it, overnight camping is available at either the nearby Sabago Cabins, or Beaver Pond campground.
