Building the Mini-Holiday
The local 356 Burgh Group, Bud Osbourne and Jolene Cicci, wish to invite you to join us as the Allegheny Region celebrates its 50th Anniversary at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix has named Porsche as Marque of the Year, the Allegheny Region PCA will celebrate 50 years. and we will have a major 356 event, with a total of 1000 Porsches at Schenely Park.

Business meeting
Thank you Dale for a great article on behalf of the 356Burgh!
So far, 40 356′s are registered and that is amazing. A group of us were talking yesterday at Sewickley Porsche and commented that even back in the day, a dealer would never have 40 356′s on the lot. This will be something extra special for Pittsburgh.
I am simply amazed at the amount of 356 owners that are now registered to attend this event. This will really make the 2011 PVGP something to be remembered.
