[curt_gendron]

Only 4 more days until the Cookout. We are up to 155 signups: http://mn3s.org/wordpress/?page_id=1180

It is not too late to get signed up and come join us for an afternoon of Mitsu fun. The All Mitsu Cookout is coming up this Sunday, the 23rd. We have some great prizes donated by Advance Auto Parts and White Bear Mitsu. We also will have plenty of food, and some fun stuff like the Mitsu trivia contest and the Slow Drags.

Here are some reminders:

1) Sign-up online. The page is at:
http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=5

2) Fill out your car sign ahead of time. It saves a lot of time in the registration line. Download the sign at:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign.doc

And my example sign can be found here:

3) Bring some lawn chairs for hanging out and bring your appetite! We'll have plenty of food.

Also, if you are just coming to spectate, spectator cars (non Mitsus) will have parking lot next to the main lot.

Its only $5 for you and your car to be in the show and eat. Why not make the trip out to Ramsey Central Park!

Hey everyone,

The All Mitsu Cookout is tomorrow! Its looking to be a little cool and breezy. I'd recommend bringing a jacket. (who knew I'd ever have to say that for the Cookout. LOL). We are at 183 sign ups right now and over 650 people on the Facebook event.

Get your car sign filled out and pack a lawn chair. Also, there is some road construction to be aware of. The intersection of Hwy 10 and Armstrong Blvd is closed. You'll need to turn at the stoplight before. If you are coming from the metro that is Ramsey Blvd. If coming from the north, it is Alpine. The Game Fair last weekend was very close to the Cookout location. You can follow the detour directions they have at: http://www.gamefair.com/directions.html

Also, take some time and read through the Cookout page at: http://cookout.mn3s.org Everything is on there that will help make your day tomorrow even better.

Thanks,
Curt

Thanks to everyone that made it out to the All Mitsu Cookout on Sunday. It was a little windy and cool but it didn't stop anyone from having a good time. A big thanks to White Bear Mitsubishi for being our main sponsor again. Your cars looked great on display. We also had some prizes donated from Advance Auto Parts, Upscaled Designs and Lance Bennett. Thank you! Also thanks to my very hard working volunteers. Especially Collin, Mike and Heidi. You three were there early, worked the entire show and were the last ones there at the very end. THANK YOU all!!

We had 124 fully registered Mitsus in the show. If you add the Mitsus there on display, but not registered, the total was about 140 cars. If we could get the 20+ Mitsus in the spectator lot to join us, it would be even bigger. :)

I have the Cookout page finished with pictures from the show and pictures of the trophy winners. Enjoy: http://mn3s.org/wordpress/?page_id=2125

Curt I know you put a lot of work into these events, and have through the years. I've seen a lot of positive reviews once again on forums and FB and such. Lots of support against some ass-hats that don't have a clue on how to handle themselves and not ruin it for others as well.

I didn't make it out this year but have in the past couple just to see old faces and the cars. I don't own a Mitsu anymore and not sure I ever will but I enjoy the event and just wanted to be another voice to thank you for putting them on and taking your time to do so! And thank everyone who helps you with that.

Great show for sure, food was great too :) Thanks again as always man. I must have left before the rowdiness occurred that I've been hearing about. Too bad, seems like there's always that 1%

Thanks for the great compliments guys! It is a ton of work, but when you see all those cars and people having a good time, it is all worth it. We did have a few spectators that were having too much fun in the spectator lot and out on the road, but it didn't jeopardize anything. I talked with the City and no one called the cops and no complaints. So we should be ok using the spot again next year. I may put some volunteers in the spectator lot to patrol for asshats. LOL
