This is an excerpt from the North Coast Miata Club website  https://northcoast-miata.com/completed-events-2024/
There are photos of the event as well on the site

Our first meet up with the West Penn Miata Club.
 went very well. There were 8 cars from our club that left Hinckley and drove to Dalton as a group and 1 car that met us there. West Penn pulled in about five minutes after we arrived, with 10 cars.

To promote interaction between both clubs, couples from each club were paired together for lunch at the Dutch Kitchen in Dalton.  This worked out great as we found we had more in common than anyone would have thought.

After lunch, we made a stop at the Smucker's store to look at the many food products and wares that they had on display for purchase.  We then drove east on Rt. 30 for Ice Cream in Dalton. Of the 19 cars we started with, there were still about 16 left at the Ice Cream shop. After getting our fill of the sweet stuff. Everyone began to depart for home, with good memories. Hopefully this can become an annual event between our clubs.
