January 10th

HAPS 2nd Anniversary at The Shop ( www.offroadshop.com ) in League City. The Shop is a 7000 sq. ft. facility that specializes in 4 Wheel Drive toys and have their own 4 Wheel Drive Test Track that may be available to us. There have been some problems with un-authorized people using the track after hours recently, so some of the track may be off limits to us. Well know more the day of the event. The test track is a 10-acre park next to the shop.

If you plan on having your truck worked on, call Ken ( 281-332-7911 ) and schedule it. The Shops technicians are A.S.E. Certified, highly trained, and experienced in the automotive field.

Last year being at Kemah was such a success we plan on going back. With all the restaurants, shops, boat ride, train ride, etc., there is plenty to keep a family busy.

June 12th
HAPS camping and BBQ at Mark Weber’s Parents private lake and campgrounds in Needville. There is plenty of space for a number of trailers. The 1-acre private lake has been died in color to look like a pool. With a sand bottom, a beach area and docks, the lake can be used for swimming or fishing or both. This can be either a 1 day, 2 day or a 3 day event for everyone.
There is also an Air Conditioned Pond House / Kitchen if you need get out of the heat. The property also has lots of trees. There are a number of pictures posted on the HAPS web page ( www.houstonareapowerstrokes.com ) in the Gallery Section. Look for last years June 28th Family BBQ event.

July 10th

This summer is the 10th anniversary of the Power Stroke Diesel and International is planning a special event.

Hey Brad... Thanks for the invite, and I am sorry we didnt get to make this one in January.. I just talked to Tom (Truckstom) and him and I plan on attending some of y'alls future events, so count us in.. I am sure some other people on here would be game for attending as well, so let us know! How about a meet sometime in the summer at Lake Travis, with the Central Texas PSD's??? They look like they have a good time, and maybe make it a 3 day event for all the 3 brands! Just an idea.. Anyways, thanks for the invite, and maybe we can have a HAPS/Oilburners get together sometime!

The day was a blast. About 50 trucks and around 100 people attended. The weather made it even a better time. After the raffle of the 5-6 PSD shirts and HAPS jacket, 10-12 trucks went and played in the mud while 15-20 of 2 WD guys sat back and watch.
Thanks to all that came out. The pictures are post on Houston Area Power Strokes.com webpage in the Gallery section.

Sorry you missed it. You and everyone else are always welcome to any HAPS event. HAPS is all about the people and families. What we drive just makes it better.
HAPS has a lake event set up for July at Lake Somerville, near Brenham. Last year HAPS rented the pavilion and invited the Austin guys, then BBQ's, some swam and went for boat rides. It's as close to 1/2 way between Austin and Houston as we could get.
Keep an eye on the HAPS webpage and I will keep posting on this webpage also. HAPS has a lot planned throughout 2004. I think our next open date is in October. I hope to see you soon.
