I'm posting this now so that those that are interested in attending can schedule the time off. This year, there are several different activities planned, in which the details will be posted at a later date, including attending & if interested, entering your Marauder or any Ford vehicle for display only or judging at a Mustang & All Ford car show in Maggie Valley, NC on October 5, sponsored by the Northeast Georgia Mustang Club. At this time of year, the fall foliage starts to change colors & the mountain areas of GA, SC, NC, Virginia and points north and westward are very popular areas to visit & hotel room availability could be a problem if you procrastinate in reserving one in advance. For the time being, the city of Maggie Valley has quite a few hotel rooms available for these dates & that is where I'm planning to stay & base all activities from there.
