Alright. As pointed out by Stilz, we happened to pick the date of the MNFords spring meet. Rather than change dates or make people choose, let's bring a strong Focus showing to the meet.


Details are as follows:

http://www.mnfords.com/showthread.php/1 ... OFF!!!!!!!

After yet another long, cold Minnesota winter, its finally time for us to pull off those car covers, fire up our motorized babies and hit the streets! This year, the Minnesota Ford Enthusiasts have planned a great day that is open to everyone AND FREE!

8AM - 11AM All Ford Event :: Minneapolis AutoMotorplex, Channehassen
Location on Google Maps: http://goo.gl/fTlqx

The morning starts off early at an inagural event being held at the Minneapolis AutoMotorplex; a special event for all Ford groups! The same folks that bring you "Cars and Coffee" are branching out to showcase more specific groups throughout the year. MNFE will meet at the Motorplex and will have space reserved for those who pre-register.

11AM :: Motorplex attendees discuss food plans or route plans.

1PM - 2PM :: Spring Kickoff!, Brooklyn Center City Hall
We're going to rendezvous for our kickoff at the north parking lot for a brief how-do-you-do before heading off for the cruise.

3PM :: The Cruise!
We'll be traveling to the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt, WI.

And yes, I did copypasta Rob's post....

well we know northern metro.

2pm sounds like a good round number.

Northtown still sounds good. Kmart in Anoka could be, but the cops really suck about soliciting and just hanging out in lots up there. Plus I figure to get a decent sized lot, so we can call park close to each other for the good photo ops, and still leave room for other patrons.

or we could pick a county park by a lake/river. but many of the lots aren't substantially large.

another option is as mentioned: stillwater/taylors falls somewhere.

Looks good. Lots of parking, somewhere cool looking.

So how does 2pm start of meet, hang out there for a while and take a quick ride to Northtown for a place to eat dinner/late lunch, and a possible drive after?

Keep in mind that the park requires permits for parking...$5.

I know I can't be the only cheap bastard here...

really??? they want $5 to park there, hmmm... I'm a cheap ass too, so maybe we figure something else just in case. Granted $5 ain't a bank breaker, but its still $5 for a couple of hours maybe, at an outdoor lot, in the middle of nowhere kinda, not like downtown or anything.

yeah isnt that lot right down by the river? or the one that they use for the sat night show? there used to be a spare lot next to AutoZone there, but I dont know if its still there.

I know of a free lot up in St. francis by the river, and some roads to kinda play on. just throwing out ideas.

I don't think I can make it, but why not find a place to grill some food! A lot cheaper that way, just someone bring charcoal and everyone bring their own meat (or non-meat).

Areas like Crooked Lake or I think Bunker hills has some places like that.

You guys aware that you chose the same date as MNFORDS? Why don't you just intertwine them? They've been looking for more Foci anyways. :)
