Lots of fun for every one.

Lets plan on 2 days, so it will be a real Hybridfest and green energy fair, but we need more people to make it fun.
What would people like to do?
These gatherings typically are networking sessions and discussions of MPG techniques and modifications, with no plan, but I think we should make the event be more attractive to a wider group, by having some structure.

Some ideas:
MPG competition, we all like a good competition, so lets see who the MPG champs are, followed by the winners discussing their techniques used on the mixed driving course.
MPG map
This course can use the highway or the back roads.
The pictorial map eliminates the biggest problem with the many MPG contest I have attended, by making it nearly impossible to get lost.
Winner gets a prototype of a HV solar charger that fits in the rear hatch window, that plugs into the charger connector.
Battery pack dis assembly and charger as a diagnostic tool discussion/workshop.
We have Civic, Insight, and Prius packs to disassemble and work with.
We should be able to have 3-4 chargers available for balancing packs.
And will have harnesses available for anyone that wants to get wired for a charger.

Weather permitting, we could have a solar cookout with my big dish and several smaller dishes for cooking dogs burgers,chicken,steaks.

My yard has been the host to a family reunion where we had 15 campsites, and over 100 people. The area is secluded and safe for camping.

Sparky will attend the gathering and the solar toys will be available, so bring the kids
