All Mitsu Cookout -- August 27th, 2017 -- Ramsey, MN

[cgendron]

Plans are underway for the 2017 All Mitsubishi Cookout and Car Show. The All Mitsu Cookout is a once a year show for all Mitsu built vehicles. There is no car show like this anywhere and no bigger Mitsu event in the Upper Midwest!

This year's event is happening on Sunday, August 27th from 11am to 4pm. It will be at Ramsey Central Park, in Ramsey, MN. This park offers a large paved parking lot and a really nice pavilion right next to the parking lot. There is also a fair number of trees around the lot for some shade. There are bathrooms attached to the pavilion also. It will be a great spot!

The official sign up for the Cookout and other details can be found at: http://cookout.mn3s.org

We also have a Facebook event to get info from. It is at: https://www.facebook.com/events/1852240661654923/

Come enjoy the day with your fellow Mitsu nuts!

We had a great turnout for the All Mitsu Cookout last Sunday. We had 137 cars registered and about 150 total Mitsus there. They were forecasting rain, but we managed to stay dry. Thank you to everyone who made the trip out to Ramsey Central Park.

Big thanks to our sponsors, White Bear Mitsubishi, Advance Auto Parts, and Upscaled Designs. They were fantastic to partner with. I also want to thank my 10+ volunteers that were helping me. Some of them have been helping me for the last decade. They know the routine so well!!

Here is the page with my pictures and all the trophy winners: http://mn3s.org/wordpress/?page_id=3141

See ya next year!

A shout out to Curt for, once again, organizing this amazing event. It was great to see the DSM and Mitsu community show up in such a large way.

Making new connections and sharing knowledge is an added benefit to enjoying all the cars.

Yes, a thank you also to the sponsors and volunteers, making this event so much more than just a meet and greet.

As always we look forward to the next one!
