A little over a year ago Landon (OKCharger), Tonja (summer72) and I got together for a little M&G.There was also a guy from Ohio who was in town for business. We met at Pop's in Arcadia, Ok and had lunch. We then cruised to Chandler and the Rt. 66. museum and took a few pics. On the way to Chandler we saw a Highway Patrol car on the side (it was a Charger) and we stopped and asked if we could take some pics with him. He declined. Anyway we had a really good time. Jump forward a year.


2nd Annual GPMM labor day M&G

This year we met at a Cracker Barrel on OKC and caravaned to Chandler and the Rt. 66 Museum which thanks to Landon they opened for us to view. I think the total count of cars was 23 including some from the Crossfire Club. We toured the museum then drove to Pop's for lunch and onto the lake for an impromptu car show. Can't wait till next years event:cool:

Attending this years event were: Landon, hawk, Tonja, Matt, Ross, Darin, Jack, Jake, Daak, Ken (purplehaze),Joe, Kellen, Ken, 6speed, smoked, rhylins mommy, chefrwmiller, John Rogers and their families plus seveeral from The Crossfire club:cool:

I think next year might be time for a GPMM sponsored car show.... Well if we wanted to do a show I can talk to the dealership as a possible site for it and some type of sponsorship. I am sure i could also arrange some advertising with my friends at the radio station with a possible live remote broadcast.

If you go to Chandler again, I know the guy that wrote the EZ Guide to Route 66. He's a Route 66 historian and artist and he lives in Chandler. I can hit him up to see if he wants to join us to speak or just hang out. We could go to his gallery as well.

Just got through going through this thread and have to say that it IS really awesome the way this bunch (all of the GPMM members) has evolved into a fairly large group of Mopar Fanatics. A group, I might add, I am very proud to be a part of (even before I got MY Modern Mopar. And I certainly hope that nothing pops up,to keep ME from adding MY charger to the lineup.
That has to be quite a sight, seeing all of the Mopars in a Caravan and/or parked in the parking lot of a restaurant or a motel. I can just feel the atmosphere of that First Meeting, Really COOL stuff.;)

Pretty cool. Is this event always in OK? Are there other gatherings around Kansas at all?

Each chapter is encouraged to plan their own event, mainly because we are spread so far apart, but OKC will always have a Labor Day Cruise

Ya know, I was reading back through some of this stuff and thought it was pretty good that the '10 Labor Day Cruise wasn't anything like originally thought of. I'm quite sure that the 1st one was "Historic", the 2nd one was
"Totally Awesome" and this one coming up, will be Really "Off The Wall"! I can hardly wait Too! ;)

It would be cool to have a members list from year one, two, three.... etc. Just to see how much it has grown.

If you did, Tonja, I sure didn't get to finally meet you. Maybe this time? :D

I can't be sure, but I'm not even sure there was ANY kind of a white Charger last year (except for Tee's work vehicle and IT had the blue accents :D )! So, you would have been a solo act. ;)
