Hi All. I am trying to get a bunch of Pintos together for a cruise night.It is the Fort Community Cruise Night - Fort Atkinson, WI on June 19th 5:30-8:30pm. I hope to get at least ten Pintos there, so far I have Five!We will meet at a location away from the show and drive in together as a group.Ill give more details later when I know how many are coming.This is a great cruise night, parking in the grass with large shade trees.The food and drink are cheap. On a good night they can have over 300 cars.

You can go to a cruise night every weekday and many, many shows on the weekends LOL!! Sometimes you have to pick and choose which one to go to and (like tonight) go to two or three different ones on the same night
