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 2011 BASH will be in Kalispell, Montana, About 1,900 miles northwest of Dallas. !!!

BRING YOUR MUSTANG!!!!
Caravans from IL, FL, AL, TX 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! If this doesn't qualify for "all over teh USA", I don't know what does. This will be a real road trip challenge, especially for those coming from Florida.
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! |
