Rocketman..... I know you mentioned you were coming, but I don't have you registered.

Just to share an update... we have 37 cars registered (hopefully more tomorrow) and we were on the front page of the local newspaper of Pulaski County...
It states: "Something new is being added to the festival this year as well... The Mid America Aussi Capri Gathering will have as many as 50 rare mercury Capris on display and spectators will have a chance to vote on their favorites and win some prizes themselves. People from all over the country, including most Midwest states, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Colorado, etc. will be traveling to Medaryville for this special event. The Austrailian made Mercury Capris were manufactured between 1991 to 1994 with only 366 of the XR2 model made in 1994, making them a rare gem. The cars were made to encourage younger customers into Mercury dealerships. With the 30 plus miles per gallon, the sporty convertibles are a fuel efficient, fun collectors item. One of the Capri owners traveling to the Potato Fest placed fourth in the 2007 Mall of America Contest of Kings for his impersonation of Elvis. Mr. Ray Sisk will be showing off his Elvis impersonation sills at 1 p.m. on Saturday and is expected to add some additional flavor to this very special weekend."
I wanted to share this with all of you, as we may have visitors/spectators looking around and asking questions during our gathering. What an awesome time to show off our little gems! Come and join the fun!
See you on August 16th...
