    What:

    First annual MNSubaru swap meet fundraiser!

    When:

    Thursday October 7th from 5pm till 9pm

    Where:

    Walser Subaru in Burnsville

    600 W 121st St
    Burnsville, MN 55337
    http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-...c=A&ved=0CH8QpQY&sa=X&ei=s7egTKrTJJ-sNbznudkG

    Why:


    You asked for it and now you've got it! An event south of the cities yet still in a central, easy to get to location.

    Most of you know that MNSubaru isn't free and it isn't cheap to keep running (hence the banner ads). To help pay for our annual fees, we'll be throwing a swap meet where members can buy and sell all of their Subaru and non-Subaru stuff while helping fund the website.

    MNSubaru plans to have a small merchandise table and will be collecting donations throughout the evening. Help save the clocktower, Marty!

    Plans for a bacon themed cook off are in the works as well.

    So come one come all. There will be a small optional donation recommendation for entrance (Como zoo style).


    BACON COOK-OFF:

    Similar to the ZTR swap meet last year, we will also have a bacon cook-off. What's the prize for the best bacon dish? A box of bacon of course! Thanks to StanmoXT, the winner(s) of the bacon cook-off will take home a box of delicious bacon.

    Use your imagination and gear your dishes towards the judges, the crowd, the weather, etc... Judging criteria will be based primarily on deliciousness but extra points will be awarded for creativity.

    [Stay tuned for even more details!]

    First one for MNSubaru. The one at Morries was for ZRT.

    Yup. Glad to finally be able to offer people in the southern burbs an event closer to home. We'll talk about a possible winter event up at Morries too.

    Weekday evening is what we were offered and what people said they could do in the poll:

    You said you could do it in the thread above.

    bummer. maybe next time!

    Bring the beast out! I know me and McFly want to see it.

    I am going to try to make it, I don't have much to sell except for some club stickers (and those damn springs, and my 05 stock headers if anyone cares about those) ... but I work until 8. Good thing is I work about 10 minutes away from the location of the meet.

    Wish I had seen the poll. Looks like it didn't get bumped at all after it was put up. Oh well. Thursdays never work in my favor (unless you're hosting it at Frito-Lay, lol). Last year was fun, and there were alot of parts up for sale. Have fun!
