Private Gathering with Nathan Merz
This is not a formal dinner. Think of it as a social gathering to kick off the weekend. Bring your Porsche, grab a drink, walk the lot, and spend the evening talking cars with people who love them as much as you do.

A special thank you to Park Place LTD for hosting the Idaho Air kick-off gathering.
An evening with Nathan Merz.
Nathan Merz will lead the evening with stories, insights, and a walk-around of several special cars inside the Park Place showroom. Expect great conversation, a lively Q&A, and the kind of Porsche talk that happens when enthusiasts gather in the same place. Cold drinks, good bites, great cars, and great people.
We’ll also take the conversation outside for a casual “walk and talk” around the parking lot, where Nathan and the Idaho Air team will highlight interesting cars brought by attendees. Think of it as an informal rolling discussion about the machines people drove in.


Bring Your Car
Guests are encouraged to drive their Porsche and enjoy the evening among fellow enthusiasts. There will be plenty of parking at the venue, so feel free to bring your favorite car, whether it’s an air-cooled Porsche, a water-cooled model, or any other interesting vehicle. We want to see what everyone drove in.
