All Mitsu Cookout -- August 28th, 2016 -- Ramsey, MN

[curt_gendron]

Plans are underway for the 2016 All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show. The All Mitsu Cookout is a once a year show for all Mitsu built vehicles. There is no car show like this anywhere and no bigger Mitsu event in the Upper Midwest!

This year's event is happening on Sunday, August 28th from 11am to 4pm. It will be at Ramsey Central Park, in Ramsey, MN. This park offers a large paved parking lot and a really nice pavilion right next to the parking lot. There is also a fair number of trees around the lot for some shade. There are bathrooms attached to the pavilion also. It will be a great spot!

The official sign up for the Cookout and other details can be found at: http://cookout.mn3s.org

We also have a Facebook event to get info from. It is at: https://www.facebook.com/events/822088494564032/

Come enjoy the day with your fellow Mitsu nuts!

We are up to 106 sign ups now. The updated list is at: http://mn3s.org/wordpress/?page_id=1180

For any out of towners looking for a hotel room, I'd recommend the Regency Inn, in Anoka. Its a no thrills hotel, but it is also reasonably priced at $65 a night. We do not have any arrangement with them, but it would be cool to have the out of towners staying at the same place. Their website is at: http://www.regencyinnmn.com/anoka_mn...ta_hotels.html

I will also be planning a dinner the night before the Cookout for our out of town guests. Any Mitsu owners are also welcome to come. The dinner will be in the general area of the hotel. Stay tuned for that.

later,
Curt
