It's wrong to break up the celebration for the 50th anniversary. You should have it in one place or not have it at all.

I also agree that there should only be one show. Mustangs Across America is not going to do a caravan because of this. I was looking forward to doing it all -- driving across country and going to ONE BIG SHOW. Why didn't members get a chance to vote on this?
This is a big mistake. The 50th comes only one time and there should be only one show.
Please reconsider.

I hate to seem really critical, but I teach journalism and PR. Your video is too long. It takes too long to get to the point. Just give us the details in print. I waited for what seemed like forever to learn from the video about the two shows. It also is not viewable on an iPad.
But again, please reconsider. There is only one Mustang and only one 50th anniversary. I am afraid two shows will mean each show will suffer. We need one really, really big show, not two smaller and, I am afraid, less successful shows.
If I have a vote as a member since 1976, it is for one show. And for location, I would prefer Detroit. If this is a club and members' opinions matter, let us have some say in this.

In 2014 Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday are the same days as the two shows, this just does not seem right to have the show and celebration on the most Holiest Days for Catholics and Christian Religions.


I wonder if Ford Motor Company even realized this before the put their support behind this event!



even Nascar takes that week off out of respect

Yeah, I this two show idea just comes off as two small shows.. Even worse for me, I happen to live almost dead center between them. Almost 1300 miles either event

Ring a bell--- the day of the greatest marketing blunder in US history until now.
That blunder....the introduction of New Coke.
Coke executives loved the new product...thought they had a winner of an idea...they were wrong.
MCA officials- you think you have a winner of an idea. You thought wrong.

2 events...then space them apart: Fri/Sat in Las Vegas with a caravan heading out Sunday morning for the east and the next weekend show....

2 shows, same weekend...a New Coke of an idea. A bad idea.

I am disappointed about the announcement regarding the two anniversary shows. I know that there is a lot of work involved in pulling this all together and will withhold any further comment on that aspect. After reviewing the information offered, I assumed we would attend the Charlotte venue but then saw that it is the Easter week as previously mentioned by yankee_pony. Since we could not participate in Mustangs Across America for the 45th, we were hoping to hook up with them for the 50th but it looks like that isn't going to happen either. We had an absolute blast in Birmingham and waited 5 years for this. As much as I enjoy the people and cars, family comes first and I will have to take a pass and will be spending Easter with the family at home.

Some of the earlier threads on this topic no longer appear when I signed on this afternoon. Not sure if there is a problem with my system?

Thanks for your time.
