What: 5th Annual Michigan FBody Spring Meet & Greet 2009
Price: Show is FREE!!
Date: May 30th, 2009
Time: 7am to 4pm
Location: Bakers of Milford, Milford, MI
Address: 2025 S. Milford Rd, Milford, MI 48380-4410

Introduction:
That's right guys and girls, it's already time to start planning for 2009's show season! With the beginning of 2009 already here, we're posting the information early to give you plenty of time to mark your calendars! The staff of MiFbody.com have decided to make the first Saturday after Memorial Day our yearly event date. This will make it easier for people to plan for the event for years to come as well as make it easier for us, the staff, to organize it! Last year, even with an overwhelming prediction of showers and the subsequent downpour at the show, we still were grateful for the large turnout we encountered! Over 150 vehicles showed up - still growing larger every year! This year, we're pushing for 175 Fbodies. Last year's outcome was purely the result of rain predictions - hopefully this year we can stay dry this year like we have in years past! Can we make it to our goal of 175 FBodies? Only with your help! So mark your calendars and register for the Meet & Greet today!

Food and Beverages:
There will be a luncheon grill 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:

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!

Registration:
As most of you might remember from previous years, filling out the registration forms the day of the event can be overwhelming! To register for the event - you have your choice of two forms! We have partnered with Motortopia to help advertise our event and they offer an online registration form! We have also created a version of their registration form on our website as well! You can register at either one of the two links below, but please make sure you register at one of them!

General Plans for the Meet & Greet:
The Meet & Greet, as a tradition, is a casual meet up to hang out and have fun! The event's host website (MiFbody.com) is still growing at an exponential rate, and there's still a lot of names that we know from the community but we don't have a face to place with the name. The Meet & Greet was created in 2005 to put faces to the user names on the site. The whole point is to meet new people, hang out, show off our own cars and check out each other's cars! Over the years, we've grown to include the entire FBody community not only in Michigan but in neighboring states and Canada! Our goal is not directly meant to promote our website - but more to promote the FBody community as a whole and encourage the community to establish friendships with people in the area with the same passion for the cars we own! The Meet & Greet is MiFbody.com's way to try and give back to the community by having a yearly show to look forward to.

50/50 Raffle:
Last year we had a 50/50 raffle with great results! This year, again, we will be having a 50/50 raffle! So bring your money and make some cash to pay off the gas you used to get to the event!

Please note that the cruise to Woodward is completely independent of the Meet & Greet - although a tradition for some. The meet will be considered finished directly after the short Awards ceremony. Please make arrangements on your own if you plan to cruise to Woodward after the Meet & Greet

Just an update on registrations so far - keep them coming if you are interested in coming! Even if you don't show up, I'd rather someone pre-register and not show up than have to fill the form out at the event!

From Ohio,Cleveland area,went last year and registered for this year.Only thing dissappointing from last year was the large list of "I'm comimg" and the final actual showing.Great park,nice setting.Last year's amusing event:suprise heavy rainfall and everybody running for their cars to put convertible tops up,closing windows,hoods,and hatches and then the wipedowns.

Glad to hear you're planning on coming again! Unfortunately, the 60% rain chance last year scared a lot of people away. Let's hope for 0% rain predictions this year!

Who cares if it come out a get a little wet, that **** happens when you wash it anyways, enjoy the car! We all had a great time last year despit the little shower.

Yup, the rain gave us all a little amusement while everyone scrambled to close up their cars. No harm with a little shower. Rain or shine, everyone always has a good time.

Your registration has been received!

Our preregistrations have been tallied and updated!

We now have the following numbers by state:
Illinois: 5
Ohio: 2
Pennsylvania: 2
Indiana: 1
Michigan: 123

AB-SOL-LUTELY humbled by the showing of support from the surrounding states. I had never dreamed that our show would extend attendance outside of Michigan and am absolutely excited to make this year our best year yet!

Last year you had about 200 signups and less than half showed,be great if everybody that signed up actually showed,put 'Superfest' and G-atlanta to shame.'Superfest' is a rip-off for the money and atlanta is too high a fee to just park there.

We had the rain predicted so we had a lot of people that didn't show up because of it. Little bit of rain doesn't hurt most. ...Then again, after working ALL day on my car and only getting two bolts taken care of, I also have a new respect for those who choose not to drive in the rain and prevent rust.

Yeah this should be a good time! Rain or shine, I am there!

Had the car in Autorama 2 weekends ago, took 3rd place in my class, and drove it home on Sunday in the rain.

Yessir, I have it in my inbox right now



Just a positive factoid -- this time last year we only had ~75 registrations. We have DOUBLE the amount of registrations as we did last year at this same exact time!
