Anyone in the area shouldn’t miss this one, the place will be full of Ferraris and bikes. If you ride there with your Guzzi enter it in the bike contest. I have an entry form for anyone interested.

I saw this...very cool event!  I was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY.   :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

My grandfather, (Cesare Julius Cerilli) was also a founding father of the Italian Center there!  His photo is on the way in the main entrance! :thumb: :cool: :smiley:

Please let us know what (who) Guzzis show up!  I've been to other Italian car shows and met some Guzzi stragglers showing their bikes and who have no idea about MGNOC or Wildgoose.  All my times back to Poughkeepsie and I never met another Guzzi owner.

Aside, the Italian Center was where we had Boy Scout dinners some years (1960's).  It has been a strong social center in Pok. seemingly forever. I grew up in Pok and was just there last couple of weeks for my Mom's funeral.  (Timothy Doyle Funeral Home, I wrote the obit.)

Thanks for flagging us Tony.  I need to mark my calendar to watch for the date next year.

IIRC! Weren't there 2 original PT boats in the area? Owned by Rob Iannucci of Team Obsolete fame?   R3~
