Well here we go again ladies and gents! I know that it's only March and just starting to warm up outside, but it's time to start thinking warm, Subaru filled thoughts! So we've got a date...July 23rd, 2016!! What is it and what is to be expected!?.... Well here are the cliff notes: The LaXCruise is a lengthy Subaru enthusiast driven cruise to LaCrosse, Wisconsins' Copeland Park where we have a HUGE shelter rented to park the cars under to protect us from the summer heat or rain! It is a family oriented cruise that was thought up many years ago that allows us to enjoy a long drive accompanied by a BBQ, raffle with Subaru inspired prizes, games/shenanigans, and also camping for those of us that like to make a night of it and carry on the fun into Sunday! Plan on a beautiful drive to WI, accompanied by great friends, a chance to admire others' Subies, awesome prizes donated by our sponsors that promote Subaru love in MN, food and games! ***In order to really make it work, we need people to get signed up early and clear their calendars!*** ***If using Paypal to make payment, plz send to: [email protected] Make sure that you put your screen name in the "Notes" section along with LAX so that i know it's for the cruise and to identify who you are! I know your screen names, but when it says Joe Blow sent you $15, it's hard to figure out who you are.(unless your real name and screen name are one in the same). *** ***Cash payments can be made with arrangement. I can usually meet you at Boom Island/Surly for the Tuesday meets (Please PM me if paying cash)*** COST!?----$15/adult and $5/child will be the amount to get lunch and raffle tickets to partake in the raffle! Pre-paying IS a requirement and is non-refundable! I can't afford to take on the costs out of my own bank account! The raffle, as many of you already know, is comprised of some pretty great stuff! The money collected will help cover the shelter rental, food and some of the prizes/entertainment! \/\/\/'Soft' Itinerary (may be some additions)\/\/\/ Saturday-July 23rd *8am-Arrive at Inver Grove Heights Walmart in the North parking lot. Smooze and grab your cruise route info and raffle tickets and prepare yourself for a day of Subaru bliss! Location address: WalMart 9165 Cahill Ave, Inver Grove Heights, MN (We meet on the north side of the building closest to Concord) *9am-We leave promptly at 9am to ensure that we arrive just before lunch time. This allows myself and other volunteers to get food ready (if there is no caterer)and get stuff set up and also get the mass amounts of Subarus parked! *11:30am-Arrive at Copeland Pavillion in LaCrosse, park cars, set up, and get ready to eat!! *12pm-Lunch time! Omnom (depending on the turnout and pre-registration #'s, this will be a hot lunch, either catered by a local LaCrosse catering service, or by the club and volunteers) *1-1:30pm-Games and Subie fellowship...check out the cars!! *2pm-Around 2ish, we will begin the raffle and start giving away subie goodies and or subie- related goodies thanks to our local sponsors! You don't want to miss it!! **After the raffle (3pm): We have the shelter until 7pm, so we can hang out and enjoy the summer day and the mass amount of Subarus into the early evening. After the raffle, you are pretty much able to do whatever you'd like, whether it be head back to the cities, drive up to Grandads' Bluff to enjoy the sunset, or just hang and enjoy eachothers company! We will be heading to Goose Island Campgrounds in the early evening to get tents set up and have dinner for those that are feeling up to it (cost is about $18/site)! We usually come up with some fun night time activities for those that stick around Saturday night, and caravan back together or in small groups on Sunday morning before or after Perkins breakfast. We may have a Sunday cruise up WI. Hwy 35 this year, details to come! If you are new to the forum, i HIGHLY recommend that you attend this event and get to know some of your fellow MNSubaru members. Finally put a face/name to the screen name that you have seen trolling about since you've joined! lol To sign up, post your screen name and the number of guests that you'll be bringing along!! We also need to get a head count for camping, so please include "camping" or "no camping". Thanks! Below is the example of how you should sign up: tangledupinblu+2 (Camping) or (no camping) **********Hope to see you all there!!!!*********** -Josh

Instead... how about you all cruise to vegas and come celebrate Meatybear's 30th bday?! Also, motion to make a tow truck the pace car just in case any subaru needs a helping hook? p.s. dbab.
I will be there and for the 1st time ever my meatpocket does not have to play army so she will be coming as well! Oh and of course in for camping
Way to bring the bad karma cloud overhead. Jeez. I motion that the tow truck should be made like the old school pick-up truck style ones. And made out of a Brat. (Even tho the whole not-towable-awd thing.)
Duh, bro. I'll make sure to get my GoPro on your rear diff when you're on the side of the road pulling your shaft. Get some good footage for the montage video.
Ill have to check when our family vacation is but I should be there if Im not on the vacation with the family. So tentative for now and I have to talk to my woman also to see if she wants to come too. And if I do go camping is a maybe for now too cause working Sunday morning at 9 am So. . . wagonsrumble +1? camping?
Would be awesome if we could all get windshield banners with our usernames on them like Nascar does now.
Easy shooter. Just kidding of course. Probably one of the coolest ideas I have heard submitted here. That reminds me... vanity plates.
It's hard to believe that we have been doing this cruise for 9 years!! If you haven't been, get signed up!!
Housemusic1 (+1). No camping. First timer, and fairly new MN Subaru member. Don't have a WRX or STI, so will be the minority. But, I'll do my best to rep the Legacy/Outback crowd! Should be a nice cruise.
Josh, I am going to have to rustle up some scoobie swag to give away for this extravaganza. I believe i still have a highly coveted Subaru expandable shovel on hand as well as some other goodness.
