Well here we go again! As usual, i know that it's only January and still cold outside, but it's time to start thinking warm thoughts!! The 2013 LaXCruise will be celebrating it's 7th year this year and the date has been set! Saturday-July 27th, 2013!! What is it and what is to be expected!?.... 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 i 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!*** 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' Itenerary(may be some additions) Saturday-July 27th 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: WalMart 915 Cahill Ave, Inver Grove Heights, MN 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 need be/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!! **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! 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!

Due to schedule conflicts on my part last year was my first time participating in this event. I was fortunate enough to win a really nice red MBC from the raffle. And after lunch my family headed off to WI Dells for the weekend. This is a great event for welcoming new members and I highly recommend it. The drive there is especially amazing with the large number of cars we have. And the organization of this event is above the rest, smooth sailing. Thanks Josh and team for your continued dedication to the club.
owww...When is the cutoff for joining going to be? I would like to attend, however the following day is my anniversary and my wife is already jealous of my Subaru love ...I will not be able to commit for a few months probably.
LMK if you need anything... Unconfirmed guest status... This year can I touch your balls when there on fire???
You have time! Just lmk as soon as you know! It could be her anniversary present! lol And will do Dean!
I am going, but I doubt the wife and kids (human and dogs) are going to join me. Josh I think I will get some cash to you at one of the Tuesday meets this summer, if that is cool. Camping is up in the air, but I am leaning towards it.
Twiztid + ???? (camping.... maybe but only if I'm the big spoon Josh) Don't know if the wife and kids will attend or not.
Oh oh pick me for the attending list!!!! And you are welcome for supplying the hook ups to save some $$$ for prizes Also, what EXACTLY did you tell Cameron on the phone today? He called me at work and said my Subaru boyfriend called him...also where is the impound lot parking (non Subaru cars) going to be? Some of the guys from LAX Streets who were planning on coming wanted to know if we welcomed their kind next to the Subies.
Ylime+??? (I think I will actually be able to make this event as thats around the time I usually take a week off.)
Obviously i will be there, may have to cut out for a few hours at night for my local town celebration. Will be coming back to campground
just a bunch of trolls around here! haha jk, I figured people would pick up on it rather quickly. Stay tuned...assuming all goes well, picking up this afternoon
Boom! I'm in as usual. For those on the fence with camping, it's always been a blast with good times.
Just talk to the lady friend about doing this! Have to have her check her schedule then I will let you know! Are pets allowed on said trip?
would an 86 be welcome? this might be a great shakedown for the new car!! oh and i would have a +1 with me
I'll have a Go Pro this year... People who have them please make sure we give our SD cards for data transfer at the meet location so they may get all the data to make a video this year ! Thanks,
^This!! We will be making every effort to put together a killer cruise video this year! So make sure that you participate!!! There's still time to get signed up and payed! LOL.
I think it would be a good idea to put some instructions together for gopro's this year. Make them available well in advance and plan some time before the cruise specifically to go over GoPro settings and help people out if needed... perhaps with the assistance of a few volunteers?
We shall set something up for sure. I am hoping to get someone that is very experienced to meeet with everyone pre-cruise to go over the settings and info as to where the footage will need to go after the cruise for editing. Again, we WILL have a cruise video this year!!
