Drive Home (Original Cougarfest)

Mon, 02 Aug 1999 20:58:47 GMT

October, 1999
The idea was originated by Brad Lloyd (AtomicInternet) when he organized a tour of the AutoAlliance Plant in Flat Rock, MI. This event was called the "Drive Home" and is now referred to as the original Cougarfest. 35 people in 21 Cougars drove from Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI down I-75 to AutoAlliance for a tour of the plant. One member was able to raise funds for free CD Players and lawn chairs. After the tour the event was over.

Cougarfest 2000

September, 2000
The event was so popular that next year "Cougarfest 2000" was born. This time, Mercury and AutoAlliance took an active interest in the event and were able to provide free food, raffle items, and gave the event a professional spin. The event consisted of a plant tour, but also included a free lunch, raffle items, and discussions with plant representatives. The event also allowed time for owners to talk with each other and see what various owners had done to enhance their vehicle.

Cougarfest 2001 was the last event to recieve Mercury sponsorship. The event started on a Friday which was the plant tour day. Owners converged on AutoAlliance to talk with plant officials, enjoy a free lunch, and tour the plant. Afterwards a BBQ party was held at Ford Field in Dearborn. Saturday's event was held at the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn, MI. Saturday owners showcased their vehicles, enjoyed another free lunch, and had the opportunity to tour the hall of fame.

Cougarfest 2002

Thu, 25 Jul 2002 21:53:17 GMT

July, 2002
Cougarfest 2002 was held in Pigeon Forge, TN. We recieved money from Mercury to hold the event, but it was not sponsored. CustomCougars.com was the primary event sponsor. In keeping with the two-day format from 2001, Friday was the how-to day and Saturday was the main event. The main show consisted of awards and a raffle, along with burgers and pop for lunch. Pigeon forge is a heavy tourist area so owners broke into small groups and explored the town. A memorable cruise down the main drag with at least 8 cougars per lane was one of the highlights.

Cougarfest 2003

July, 2003
Cougarfest 2003 was held in Virginia Beach, VA. This was the first Cougarfest to charge admission, and also the first Cougarfest to recieve no money from Mercury in any way. The registration fee purchased T-Shirts that were not ready by the event, and pizza/pop. How-to's were Friday at the hotel and the main event was at Mt. Trashmore, a local park. While the least organized and least funded of all Cougarfest's, it still managed to be a hit.
