toolmanmike 07-10-2006, 10:02 PM Allthough I am not an official spokesman, I want to invite everyone to
Mopars on the Mississippi, Sunday, August 27 at the McAleece Park and Recreation Complex in Dubuque, Iowa. A great show and swap meet
In the scenic city of Dubuque on the Mississippi River. There is a Cruise-in
Sat. night with over 100 cars last year. It was a great time last year and I'm
looking forward to this year. I hope to meet some of you guys there. For more info check out chicagolandmopar.com and click on the events tab.

lemonboy69 07-11-2006, 01:21 AM I'm shooting to be there this year with my '69 'Cuda!! Have YET to make it out to that show, and this is hopefully the year to change that. I've always heard good things about the show!!
toolmanmike 07-11-2006, 07:01 AM I've been there three years in a row. The first two years as a spectatorand last year I put in my 66 Dart. I think I was the only car with faded paint and rusty 1/4's but the nice bunch of guys at the cruise on Saturday night said
I should put it in the show, so I did. I had a ton of lookers and lots of questions. Dubuque is a pretty, scenic town with lots of long hills to power up
rumble down. The cruise took us through town and along the Mighty Missip.
We need to make a FABO sticker for our cars or a iron-on transfer for our shirts so we can find each other. Mike
