Club events

We are quite proud of ourselves as a smaller club due to the fact that we held our first national show (The CCOA Nationals East) in our first year of operation as a club. To date we have hosted two national shows: 1995 and 1997, both shows were two of the largest Mercury Cougar gatherings ever held with well over 130 cars on the show field in 1995 and approximately 160 at our 1997 show. We feel that this is a great accomplishment for a new and small club.

Since this club was first founded we have had several get togethers and attended shows of other Ford and Mercury clubs in this areaForest City Ford Club of London, Ontario, International Mercury Owners Assoc., The Rochester Shelby Club, The Toronto District Mustang Club, Golden Horseshoe Mustang Club in Southern Ontario and the Western NY Shelby Club, we have made many friends and car club contacts in our area. It is our hope in the near future to organize an all Ford show with the help of some of these clubs.
