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 (Calvin & Joyce) 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.

I would think that the Promotional Ford PSD will be in S.A. soon. I'm sure its touring Texas early this year.
I hope to see you at HAPS June and July events. Both will be a great time. I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

The final truck count for the day was 35-40, and with all the attention HAPS was getting, I'd guess 100+ people.
Three HAPS windshield banner were installed, thanks to Mark T. and Ryan for doing the work.
Thanks to Jack Roach Ford (Peblo Cantu) and Mike Hunsucker with Blue Diamond Parts for inviting HAPS to there PSD event. Mike Hunsucker made sure I meant with all the regional Ford guys. They are very impressed with HAPS and want to get involved with HAPS and want to know what they can do to be involved with HAPS. HAPS is headed in the right direction. It obvious with the attendance the last 6-8 months and the involvement Ford want with HAPS.
Now on to HAPS March event at Shooters Station in Conroe. But don’t forget about HAPS partipation in Torque & Chrome Car/Truck show in Katy on Feb. 14th.

The pictures will be posted on the HAPS WEBPAGE in a few days.
