For your convenience I have included information about the event here:


The Central Indiana Italian car association (CIICA-FLU) is proud to announce that we will host the Fiats up North event for 2012. The FUN event will be held in Parke County IN.

Check in begins Friday evening at 4PM, with activities thru Sunday at 1PM. The attractions will be a tour of some fun driving roads, including Parke County's famous covered bridges. A catered BBQ lunch at Big Log shelter at Turkey Run state park. And Dave Struss and his band will entertain us Saturday evening as we gather in the reserved section parking lot at the Hampton Inn. Sunday will conclude with a tour of the Ropkey Armor museum.

We want to host folks from all around the Mid West, and hope that you would consider joining us along with the West Michigan FLU, FLUID ( Detroit area ), and Chicago FLU groups. It will be a great alternative for those who may not be able to attend FFO this year. I might be overly optimistic, but I think hosting 30 cars, and possibly close to 60 friends could happen! FLU membership will be mandatory, or day passes required.

Registration is required for all, and will close on September 15.

Thanks! David A. Nicholson, President CIICA-FLU

Man, i wish I could make it. My wife has family in Crawfordsville. I'm telling her we could kill two birds with one stone, I join you guys, she gets to visit her favorite cousin. She's not buying it. Our daughter's getting married next month and our son moved back home..... we're broke.

Some of the cool old Italian cars you will see, and we have more! Ron, I wish you and Missy could be here with us. And it would really be a great time.

[xjware]

And don't feel like you have to have a red car to come!

[racydave]

OK Troy, I guess my Blue Mini will stay home, I'll bring something Orange!

[rlux4]

Dave, are you trying to get me in trouble? Mike Bouse would have my ass if I showed up with his wife.
My wife is Krissy.
I don't even know Missy....honest.

Just want to make sure this event doesn't leave people's consciousness, this will be a great event and one of the last events of the season for those of us in snow country.

Hope some folks can come and enjoy this great event, great people, great drive and of course great cars!

I don't know how many people you have coming, but I had to call four hotels before I found one that wasn't booked up. I am glade I did't wait any longer or I mite not have been staying in Crowfordsville.

[racydave]

We have rooms reserved under the Fiats up North heading. And there are plenty of rooms left! Plus, it is a special rate too! Please rearrange your plans!!!! Dave

[IndyMark]

Even if you can't make all three days, Saturday would be worth it alone - covered bridge drive, BBQ, band, what more could there be? Just let us know so we can get a head count for the roast pork and brisket.

[racydave]

As of yesterday, we have 31 people and 20 cars signed up for FUN! Registration will be open for a few more weeks. This event is arranged for you and your Fiat! Join us!
