I'm a homer so my thoughts and opinions are pretty one sided on this one. I'll let others that have come and gone express their thoughts. I'm just happy there is a Cruise-In in my area now. Easy to get to and get home from.
Early it was great, clouds rolled in and we rolled out

Ok, same QSL as always and the car count was up and the variety was pretty nice. My beef, again, the drink prices. This week I got hit $4.75 for a tap Miller Lite. The girl said "Happy hours over at 6.." Really, I didn't know it even started..
I witnessed a lot of people bringing their own drinks. A few different cars had coolers in the back seat and I noticed a few people pulling their own out. People do notice the drink prices. I also talked to a lady who goes to Bike Night regularly and she said Bud Light 16 ounce's are $3 on Wednesday.
The Piano singing has got to go also. It was ok before but hearing a guy on a Piano sing "I touch myself" is just horrid.
Karaoke with a Piano...some can be pretty tough to bear.

free always is best, with a coupon for food.
QSL is always the Thursday staple but one thing that is getting to me is the prices for food and drink. I see Bike night enjoys some nice specials but cruise night for us it is full boat. $3.75 for a tap Miller light? Even at 16 ounce, your pushing it.
I know Bike night gets the attention because you can pack the cycles in like cattle but throw some love to us car guys, please.
Better then usual, good choice of music, not too loud

Great night for cruising, wish I could have managed to run up to Mt. Horeb for the cruise down but it worked out I wouldn't get there in time so we came straight over.
Congrats to RivFan for winning a trophy and also a Honorable mention to my brother Dan and his FFR Cobra. I have to give props to Tom, he came by when I was by the car and we talked about the FFR and my brothers situation of going back to Iraq on Wednesday and he mentioned he was going to do something then. Honorable mention put a smile on Dans face.
Many new faces around the parking lot and some old friends wandering around. Great to see and talk with everyone.
Didn't pay too much attention, decent enough music choices

Huge turnout, must have been the weather. Just about a perfect evening if there ever was one. We got there early enough to get a good spot. The Madison Sports Car Club had a few race cars, one ITB VW and a Spec Miata, then a few club members brought their toys out. Unless it is a Vette meeting I've never seen so many Vettes there in one night.
More new muscle creeping in. Some cars I had never seen and a few more from my area out and about it looked like.
Great night for a cruise, the ride home was excellent also.
This needs to be addressed. No reason a 55' Chevy should be going against a 70 Chevelle.

I'm a Mazo resident so I will be a little biased so here we go.
The show grew from last year, allowing cars down another street. Car count was at 45 which was up from the 35 last year. If memory serves. There where many local cars that didn't show up for one reason or another.
The weather was perfect and letting us have drinks on the streets with wristbands was a nice addition. Last year we were hearded into a small beer garden.
Kids games were in a good location, further away from the cars then last year. Another improvement. No skateboards, bikes, or scooters was a good idea, all though I watched plenty of strollers try to play shot the gap with parked cars. Annoying, but what do you do to stop parents who are enjoying the show and don't know it isn't good etique. More Food this year, and many more businesses open during the day.
The class system needs work. To broad and throwing many cars into the same group. Our Edsel, Camaro and Apache were in the same catagory which wasn't right. Hopefully they tweak this in the future.
Happily, the trophy's went to many from out of the area. I was glad to see this, hopefully word spreads that coming to Mazo means a fair show and not a local trophy grab. Our Club Trophy and the Particpant favorite did go local but overall I think the right cars won trophy's.
They cleared the front lot and everyone got a great spot

Great show, first time for me going to a Ford show since I am mostly a Chevy guy. Our families Edsel was the only one. Just a few Mercs and Lincolns, all older. A huge amount of old and new Mustangs.
The location is perfect for a show, if you where to warm, you could lounge in the dealer showroom. Great play area for the kids. The show seemed a little long at first but they sped up the Trophy timing so everyone was capable of leaving by 2 pm. The Badgerland Mustang club did a great job of parking everyone. Enough space so no one was crowded and plenty of room for everyone to walk around.
Pretty good variety, would have hoped for more Tuners, out of towners

Inside the church, clean nice

This is a hometown show in a way for me so I am biased. The lot is a little small but this show never has gotten enough autos to fill it up. Not a lot of people volunteer to help so it works being this small. Trophy's where awesome this year, very large, very nice.
Nothing over the top, just a thank you trohpy and some goodies

Great night for a cruise night and the amount of cars was excellent. I think everyone was happy to get out in anticipation for the Power Tour weekend and see all the cars that where coming into town. There where still cars coming in at 9:30pm.
Sucked. Period. Spectator Lot was full with about 30 empty spots in it?

Went up on Sunday and the weather was perfect. The cars where arranged well and a nice selection. Food was great. People where nice. The kids loved the scavenger hunt and the free stuff that they where allowed to do. Donations accepted for the free stuff which is a good idea.
Just too bad the parking sucked for spectators. They claimed the lot was full but it was far from it. Whoever was manning the front gate wasn't doing his job. We parked next door at Marley's and walked in. Little frustrating to see all the empty parking spots as you are carrying a kid piggy-bag. Only downer of the day for us.
