| What is it???? |
| The BIRTHDAY BASH is an annual party held by MustangSteve to provide a way for Mustangers throughout the USA to get together, show off their cars, put a face with those screen names, eat plenty of free burgers, hot dogs and soft drinks, and just generally have a good time. The first one was held in Carrollton, TX in 2004. Attending were about 80 people and a car display with about 18 cars. In 2005, an equal number of people attended, with about 20 cars. In 2006, a road trip was taken to Carrollton, GEORGIA, and we had about 80 people and 28 cars. 2007 was in Carrollton, TX and saw 89 people and over 43 cars! 2008 was in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. Wow, was that a great road trip and we ate more shrimp than we could stand. 2009 was in Illinois, and people converged on there from all over. Each year we see more people taking part. We have had Mustangers come from all over to attend the event. They have come from as far as Illinois, Washington state, Florida, Arkansas, Georgia, and many other areas. In 2004, we even had one come all the way from Sweden! The 2010 BASH will be in Cedar Hill, Texas, About 15 miles south of Dallas. Location: CEDAR HILL LAKE STATE PARK ($5 per person park entry fee, but it is worth it! We have a pavilion that overlooks the lake) Date: September 4, 2010 RAIN OR SHINE! Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Food: Burgers and Soft Drinks supplied to first 80 people or so, while it lasts! Entertainment: SPARK PLUG CHANGING CONTEST with a really nice prize for the winner. Car Show - No prizes, no pressure - a cool way to show off your car. BRING YOUR MUSTANG!!!! Caravans from IL, FL, AL, GA and others will travel to the BASH this year. More details and updates at FYIFORD FORUM Hopefully, attendance will be large, and future years may see venues all over the USA! Why do it??? Well, this is just my way of giving back to those who have helped me in my hobby and sideline business of selling Mustang parts. Attendance is, of course, FREE to the party and car show. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! |
