Omaha Cars and Coffee

New for 2023 is a shared event with the Schonesland and Great Plains PCA regions. On Friday, June 9th, Schonesland region members will gather and enjoy lunch at The Handlebar restaurant in Dallas Center.

After lunch, we’ll depart for Omaha via route 44 to the Loess Hills, where route 30 will take us across the border to the Missouri River where we’ll stop for a brief visit to the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge.  We’ll stretch our legs and view the bottomland forests, tall grass prairie and wetland habitat that mimic the natural Missouri River floodplain. While there, we’ll also see artifacts from the Bertrand Steamboat that sank on the bend that is now De Soto Lake. Over 250,000 different artifacts are contained within the walls of the De Soto National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.

After this stop, we will continue a very short distance on route 30 to the Residence Inn West Omaha where we were able to secure 15 rooms for Friday night only. Call 402-289-9500 before the Friday, MAY 9th registration deadline to make your reservations under the “Porsche Club of Iowa” block of rooms. Our rate is $129 plus tax. This was the only block that we could secure in the West Omaha area.  At this time, limited numbers of individual rooms may still available at these nearby hotels: Home2 Suites by Hilton (402-289-9886) and the Hilton Garden Inn (402-289-9696) are also nearby.  At 6:00 PM, we'll join members of the Great Plains Region for cocktais and dinner at BRAVO! Italian Kitchen nearby.   

Saturday morning, June 10th, we'll be able to drive our cars to the Supercar Saturday site and park in the Porsche section of the showfield (or nearby if you don't wish to show your car) and hop on a shuttle trolley that will operate from 7:30 to 9:30 between Bentley of Omaha and the showfield, just a few blocks away.  At Bentley of Omaha (a Woodhouse location) we’ll join the Great Plains region members at their monthly Cars and Coffee in the parking lot prior to going to Supercar Saturday. A continental breakfast will be hosted from 8:00 to 9:00 by our friends at Porsche of Omaha.  At anytime between 7:30 and 9:30, you may return to Supercar Saturday on the trolley for a tour of this huge collection of Exotics, Classics, American muscle, Europeans and JDM’s-it’s a car enthusiast’s dream!  

And after Supercar Saturday, it just so happens that Porsche of Omaha will be hosting a 75th Anniversary of Porsche Cars, starting at 11:00 AM.  There will be room for you to park your car, enjoy refreshments and look at all the other customer cars on display.
