Happy to announce that for the first time ever we will have trophies at our show:





We're also in the process of setting up the concession stand vendor right now so there should be a good assortment of food available to be purchased at the event.

Less than two months away! Can't believe that I'm posting this while the weather channel is saying we're going to get 4-6 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow.

Hello,

With only 45 days, 14 hours, and 45 minutes before the big event, we have made a huge change to the 2009 Meet & Greet venue.

Instead of holding our event at Kensington Metro Park, we will be holding the event at Bakers of Milford in Milford, Michigan.

This event is essentially *next door* to Kensington park, so the location change should be a very minimal inconvenience.

The new address for this year's Meet & Greet is 2025 S. Milford Rd, Milford, Michigan. Please mapquest accordingly.

For those that planned to take I-96 to Kensington, you will be able to take your route as planned but exit the freeway at exit 155 - Milford Rd - north. Once you exit the freeway and head north on Milford Rd, you will go 2.5 miles and Bakers of Milford will be on your right. I will do my best to deploy signs where possible.

Our official flier has been updated accordingly and can be viewed here: http://www.mifbody.com/MeetGreet2009.png

The official Information thread has been updated accordingly:
http://www.mifbody.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=22105

Should you have any questions or concerns at all, please feel free to contact me at meissen@mifbody.com or via telephone at 586-839-9565.

Thanks,
Brian Meissen

Hey guys,

A bit of an update here - we have met with Bakers and have a lot of plans worked out that I wanted to share. I'm also very excited to mention that Scott Settlemire, Al Oppenheiser, John Fitzpatrick, and Cheryl Pilcher all have the Meet & Greet marked down in their calendars and look forward to attending again this year.

If anyone has not heard of Bakers of Milford (especially those from out of state) - Bakers of Milford is a Metro Detroit icon for cruise-ins. Not only is their restaurant one of the best arround but every Sunday during the cruising season they host a *FREE* cruise-in with door prizes, giveaways, raffles, and it's not uncommon for them to have upwards of a thousand cars at the show.

First off, here is our parking arrangements for the day of the Meet & Greet. Please make sure that we all try to respect Baker's parking lot and surrounding area as much as possible.


Secondly, here is a list of all the options for food the day of the Meet & Greet:
There will be a luncheon grill...this is a "for sure" thing, and will run from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m...it's the standard grill menu that Baker's uses at the Sunday cruise-in. If we need, they are willing to open the grill early for us but 11am at the latest. Here is their menu:

Burger & chips - $5
Chicken sandwich & chips - $5
Hot dog & chips - $3
Bratwurst & chips - $3 (add $1 for sauerkraut)
Italian sausage - $3 (add $1 for peppers and onions)
Pop/water - $1
Bag of chips - $1

Second will be Baker's themselves...they have a full lunch and dinner menu, and have a patio that will be overlooking the cars. Menus can found here:

http://www.bakersofmilford.com/restaurant.php

Third is an adjacent on-site deli/party store that has sandwiches, pizza, hot wings, ice cream, and the like.

Fourth can't be forgetten: Dairy Queen is directly across the street from Bakers!
Last but certainly not least - with exactly one month to go we have hit the 200 registrations mark!

For those of you who might be coming from out of state or just are not familiar with Bakers of Milford, below is a link to photos from today - May 3rd. Keep in mind - what you see in the pictures happens EVERY SUNDAY. 100% free. This car scene/heritage is EXACTLY what we wanted for our Meet & Greet.

We have over 220 registrations received so far! Quick shoutout to Chris - received your registration, thank you sir!

Only 16 more days until the big day! Our Best of Show, Best Camaro, Best Firebird, and Best Domestic (Non-FBody), and Longest Hauler Award trophies all arrived this week and they look GREAT! We've also received goody items from Meguiars, and Hagerty with a few other vendors sending some items. Looks like those that get there early will get a nice goody bag.

Awesome! If you don't mind, please register for the show and have your friends register too. I'll be printing out windshield slips and have everything ready for those who register ahead of time. Makes it a lot easier than having you fill out the registration form in the parking lot when you get there the day of the show. If you can have your friends fill it out or register them too, that'd be awesome! http://www.mifbody.com/meetgreet/registration
