It wasn't me!!!! If Ford cancels they cancel but the date is ours and so far thats the deal. The retail store there is already closed so who knows what the plans are. The rumour is they are closing this faclility. We will have a sign up sheet at the next meeting, if anyone is serious about going I can put you on the list now!!

You know I'm in!! Since we're not taking our cars into the facility some of us might carpool.
