mrfarmdog Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 This is an invite from Mid South Mustang Club (Memphis TN) and Shoals Mustangs (Muscle Shoals AL) to attend the second annual Tupelo Cruise! This year the cruise will be on March 13th because it corresponds with the Tupelo Auto Museum display dedicated to the Ford Mustang they call "Horses in the House!" I wanted to post up now so that everyone can "Save the Date!" It would be good to see some of my Team Shelby buddies there! We are finalizing the event website and will post it up soon. It will have all the details on registration and the event. Here is what I can share now... 8AM - 10AM - Caravan to Tupelo early on March 13th - There will be caravans from across the Mid South heading to Tupelo MS. 10AM - 12AM - Arrive between for event registration 10AM - 5PM - Show and Shine with brown bag lunch at the Tupelo Auto Museum Banquet 7PM - 9PM - At the Tupelo Auto Museum with guest speaker John Clor from Ford Performance Group and Author of The Mustang Dynasty! Many people will make this an overnight trip so we are making arrangements for hotel discounts as well. We would like to encourage everyone to come at least for the show and shine and stay for the banquet. This promises to be a great time! Last year we had 70 cars and 120 people. This year we hope to have 100-150 cars and 200 people. More details will be shared over the next week so stay tuned! Also we have started a map so we can see who is attending and where they are from. If you plan on attending please put yourself on the map located at the link below! http://www.platial.com/mapv/Tupelo-Cruise/814144# Thanks and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call/PM/Email me.

Thanks to a recent generous commitment from our sponsors we are now able to open up the Show and Shine portion of the event for FREE! For those of you who paid for the event already you will receive a refund for the cost of the show and shine. Also we have adjusted the handling fees to include $1 per banquet ticket purchased. So if you purchase one ticket you will be charged $1 handling fee. If you purchase 2 tickets you will be charged $2, etc. The total amount refunded will include your show and shine fees and the applicable portion of the handling fees! If you paid via PayPal you will receive a refund for the appropriate amount. If you paid by check you will be reimbursed at the event. Just come and see me! If you have not registered we would appreciate it if you would still do so. This will help us in our coordination for the event. Please register even if you are just coming to the show and shine.
