? Kids at the Nat meet

[Darrel Chaney01]

If I come to the meet I'll have my 6 year old grandson with me. Are the kids able to go on the factory tour? Also what other activites are there for the kids, and what is the M & M game? My ST is not in the best show condition, but I'll clean and polish it up. I have a cross bar on the front brush guard bent and very small dent on the hood from a tree branch that came down while I was driving. Luckally I had already gone to the bathroom. Since I will be ordering a fully loaded 07 Limited as soon as I sell my 04 Taurus and a 94 Town Car and trading my 01 ST, I'm not worried about fixing them.

This is not a Car show.... This is a group MEET or Rally as Ford likes to call it. Any and all St's are welcome!!!!!! Bring it wrecked, We don't care !!! bring it on a trailer, doesn't matter..



As far as kids go, I believe there are 10 registered kids. I will double check the numbers. Most people did not fill in an age, so I don't know their ages.



YES, everyone is allowed on the plant tour.



The Saturday event is on a Farm, there is plenty for the kids to do..

Check out http://www.joehubers.com/ For more info on what the place has to offer !!!!

I know you will find plenty to do !!!!!!!



As far as the M&M goes, I dont know what it is, I am sure Rich Lunder can explain it!!

Darrel, it doesnt matter if your truck is in amazing condition or not. I know there will be tons of great lookin sport tracs there, but i personally am not going to go outta my way to make it look good for a 2000 mile trip. Im in your position-im at 111k, and im just hopin it makes it there in one piece! LOL I'm bringin my baby-corroded/rusted compleyely steel wheels, surface rust along the bottom, paint chips everywhere, and 2 rear doors that only open when they feel like it! Dont be ashamed of the codition of your trac for a second! Noone is going to judge you there because we all are going for the same reason! I plan on havin possibly the worst condition trac there.



Hope to see and meet you there!

M&M's Game!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, that is one fun game to play with the adults, as well with the kids. If we tell you what it is you promise not to practice? Actually, it's a timed game to see how many M&M's you can pick up with chop sticks. So far every time the kids have beat the adults. No practicing before the meet...j/k

They also have one of those inflatable bouncers for the kids to play in and the Louisville Slugger is a great place to take the kids!!! They will really enjoy that, if you come early in the week (say Wednesday or Thursday) there is a Six Flags Theme Park.

I'm getting too excited about seeing everyone again, but, unfortunately, alot of the previous attendees won't be able to make it. We'll be thinking of you all.

BTW...does anyone remember how to get to that Pizza joint we went to on Friday? They had the most awesome pizza.

At the 2004 meet I brought 2 grandkids with me nothing was said and the ford plant. I will also have 2 with me this year. Have fun it was a hoot. Bill

To make the M&M game a little easier for those who may be "Chop Stick" challenged the game gets shuffled when certain color M&M's are not counted or only certain colors are counted. The color changes are made on the fly during the game, so someone who only picked-up 2-3 M&M's may win if they have the most of that color. That's what makes the game so much fun, it does not totally rely on you chop-stick skills. That's why kids can often win as easy as adults.

Just don't eat too many of your M&M's
