Upper Midwest Gathering -- May 18-20, 2007

[Curt_Gendron]

Plans are underway for the Eighth annual Upper Midwest 3/S Gathering. Its three jammed pack days of fun on May 18-20th, in sunny Wisconsin Dells, WI.

The Dells is a tourist area filled with water parks, hotels, go-karts, restaurants and other attractions. On the weekend of the Upper Midwest Gathering there is also a huge car show in town. So the whole weekend there are sweet muscle cars and other classics running around town. Its a car enthusiast's dream.

The UMG is now the third largest 3/S gathering in the country. And if you ask anyone who attends, they'll call it a "can't miss" event. Complete details about the UMG can be found at http://www.mn3s.org/upper-midwest07.html If you are planning on coming, take a minute and fill out the sign up page at: http://mn3s.org/lists/?p=subscribe&id=2

Hey everyone,

We are up to 65 sign-ups now. The current list is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/upper-midwest-list.html

Sounds like a lot of people have made there hotel reservations in the last week. That means that there is even less of the cheaper rooms now. So I'll say again, if you haven't made your reservations, make your hotel reservations now! The UMG is only about a month away. W00t!

Hey everyone,

The UMG is just around the corner now. I'm hoping to finalize the schedule sometime this week. And it looks like we are up to 75 sign ups:

We'll have some nice prizes this year to give away thanks to LSE Performance. We've got a complete set of Redline fluids including MTL, 75w-90 and water wetter. LSE also threw in one of there new t-shirts. I'm also planning on getting some other prizes too. Thanks LSE!

I think all of the cheapest hotel rooms are gone now. If you still haven't booked your room, you better do it now.

Of course its not too late to sign up for the UMG, just surf over to http://umg.mn3s.org and sign up. Its gonna be a blast!

Have you joined MN 3/S. Check out the forum at: http://forums.mn3s.org/index.php There are a few people on there that have parts cars and one guy works at a junkyard. So if you want used parts, someone will have it.
