Bob,

Actually there is. Although the open house is not happening, the Registry is being invited up to MM for a private tour and get together w them. Here is the email from Rick Mackie. This is exciting! We really want to have some numbers for this. I would love to have 15-20 if we could do that. Anyone from Wisconsin, MN, or Michigan or anyone else who wants to come? Nice ride up from Chicago.



"We're open anytime in August. The manufacturing floor will still be on summer hours which means production goes until 4 pm Mon-Thurs and 10:30 a.m. Friday. If we planned this correctly - we could get the plant involved and have a mini car show with a BBQ lunch deal tied in with the tour. The museum visit could be prior or after the plant tour. I still haven't made the trek to the museum myself. I'll get to that soon and get you the VIN.

That would be great. Looks like it needs to be during the week, which is fine with me but don't know about others. It would be nice to get others from neighboring states to come. Probably plenty of hotels available nearby that Mercury could recommend for any coming longer distances. I would enjoy seeing the factory. Keep us posted. -Bob
