Thanks to a recent generous commitment from our sponsors we are now able to open up the Show and Shine portion of the event for FREE! For those of you who paid for the event already you will receive a refund for the cost of the show and shine. Also we have adjusted the handling fees to include $1 per banquet ticket purchased. So if you purchase one ticket you will be charged $1 handling fee. If you purchase 2 tickets you will be charged $2, etc. The total amount refunded will include your show and shine fees and the applicable portion of the handling fees! If you paid via PayPal you will receive a refund for the appropriate amount. If you paid by check you will be reimbursed at the event. Just come and see me! If you have not registered we would appreciate it if you would still do so. This will help us in our coordination for the event. Please register even if you are just coming to the show and shine.

I have made the decision to leave on Thursday for Memphis to get some of our gifts and door prizes for our show in June. I will see everyone in Tupelo on Sat. Not taking the Mustang as I need the room to load up like last time. (Have connection for auto parts samples) Mustangless!

How many are still planning on this cruise? I looked at the weather for Tupelo and it looks like it is now up to 40% chance of rain. Thanks, Jill

Thanks, Jill Hey Jill I have been watching Weather.com and Intellicast and they both show 30% with chance of scattered showers. What site are you watching?

Hi, I hope you are right! We are looking forward to this trip. I checked a couple of sites. The National Weather Service and The Weather Channel both have currently at 40%. A couple of other sites, are still saying 30%. Please keep us posted. Thanks, Jill

Thanks for the weather update. That is what I have been seeing as well. If rain chances do not improve, we will probably skip this one. Had enough of rain the last couple of days without driving that distance round trip in the rain. We had water in our basement from the rains yesterday that made quite a mess! Jill

Accuweather says something totally different. No mention of rain Saturday at either location, just varible cloudness.
Partly cloudy now, sounds like a chance worth taking. That is if you want to drive your car!

Weather channel is also backing this up too. All I know is that I'm not going to drive 3 hours in the rain to sit in the rain and then drive home again in the rain. I hope they cancel it and set a new date.

I am up here and its wet folks, rain on and off. Maybe later in the day it will dry out but the chance is slim as its heavy clouds wtih periods of rain. Leaving Memphis to drive back, will stop in Tupelo but not expecting much. Agree with Barry, long way to drive to bet wet and get wet. I will post up when I get back tonight. Mustangless!

Back in Pelham. It was a wet day. Rain all the way from Memphis to Tupelo. Was a pretty good turn out, maybe 100 cars. Had 20 from MCM there. They got a little wet on the drive up but mostly just rain on and off after they parked. I checked out all the cars, the auto museum, got rained on sevral times and left. Mustangless!
