Northern Star Mustang Club

Minnesota's Largest Mustang Club and Mustang Club of America affiliate. Hello fellow Mustang enthusiasts! These two clubs have since grown to over 350 members.

The NSMC combines the Southwest Metro Mustang Club and the Upper Midwest Region of the Shelby American Auto Club in 2021. The SWMMC was started in 2012, and the UMRSAAC was created in 1981. Our members range from central MN to western WI. We are the Twin Cities chartered Mustang Club of America chapter, as busy and active as any Minnesota car club! Club members own old Mustangs, new Mustangs, fast Mustangs, unrestored Mustangs, daily drivers, and a few trailer queens. Also, some own other types of vehicles. One primary goal of the club is to donate to local charities. So far, we have given over $55,000 to charity. We are currently partnered with the Automotive Technology program at Prior Lake High School to advance the automotive hobby with the next generation of young people. Check out our website for more information and an up-to-date event schedule. www.northernstarmustangclub.com

NSMC’s last Mustang car cruise of the season was yesterday Nov 7. 21 cars and 31 people met in Milaca to make another trip around Mille Lacs Lake- reverse of what we did last year. We didn’t drive our cars in reverse (haha) but went the opposite direction which was just as enjoyable. Along the route Shawn video taped our cruising cars from his car mounted camera. After a rest stop in Garrison and photo op at the huge Walleye, we cruised lakeside roads east to Da Boathouse for lunch. Great food, conversations and games were enjoyed by all. Heading south we made a stop (as we did last year) at Ann River Winery for w**e tasting paired with more food options…..and games. Scott won the poker run, Dean won the 50/50 and Shawn won the “closest time” showdown. A great way to end an “EPIC” season for our club: 12 car cruises, 16 “other” social events, 12 monthly club meetings and 36 monthly breakfast gatherings at 3 different locations! We are an active bunch but the fun is not over because our cars are resting for the winter. Dec 5 we will hold our annual Toys for Tots drive along with a movie and lunch- check out our website for details on this event. And our annual Holiday Party is in January for club members. The monthly breakfasts continue and other off-season events will follow until we can break our Mustangs out of the stable in the spring. Keep tabs on what’s happening on our website and join us for the fun! www.northernstarmustangclub.com.

A group of NSMC members got on board for a late season Halloween Cruise on Oct 31. The weather was gloomy but that didn’t deter the ride. We started out in Plymouth and cruised backs roads and highways over to Wyoming and an outing at the Sunrise River Farm. We visited the apple orchard and bought seasonal goodies at the store. We then headed over to Cambridge and the Pinebrook Restaurant and Bar for lunch. A few members got into the spirit of the day with costumes… we had a cowboy and cowgirl, a witch and Phil as a referee - he had to use his penalty flag with this group a couple of times today. Scott found it a challenge to take the first bite of his Pinebrook specialty burger- believe it or not there is one bigger than that one😳.
One more weekend to enjoy our cars- a trip around Mille Lacs next weekend, but our friendships will continue with off season events!

A gorgeous fall day yesterday for the NSMC Fall Color Tour. We rounded up 31 Mustangs and 62 people to join the car cruise over to Trego, Wi. There we boarded a train where we filled one whole train car for our group. The ride took us 2 hours north and back to view the fall colors. Unfortunately we were a little past peak with the leaves but we enjoyed the ride non the less. We socialized over a personal pizza and pop lunch. Upon our return, a majority of the group cruised to the Dancing Dragonfly Winery in St Croix falls for refreshments and games. As always another successful and enjoyable club event planned by Phil and Shad. Thanks you guys, you always do an amazing job. Looking forward to a couple more before the end of the season.

Another Pony Express in the books, 22nd or st. (You had to be there). 🤣. We had a great time in Lancaster WI. Even with a little rain it did not stop the fun. Great dinner, bowling, games, bingo, cash drawing! We were on our own Saturday morning, some went to Galena IL and walked around through the shops, Cuba City, House on the Rock and more. On the way home we stopped at Remlinger car Museum in Winona. This cruise took us through 4 states, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois! We are going places! A huge thanks to Phil, Tammy, Shad, Kevan, Kurt and Andrea for making this weekend so fun and spending the time to put this all together! Until we cruise again!

Sunday- Last day for the Sturgis Crew at the Rally. The day started with Cowboy Church at the Thunderdome, then we drew our poker hands from the Poker Run- no winners there! The group then took off for a fun run to Devil’s Tower in WY. A stop on the way back in Spearfish for an Italian dinner. Then it was back to Sturgis for the Awards for the week and the Show and Shine Car Show. A clean sweep of trophies for all of us again this year: Dean, Dan and Shad - Bronze, Kurt and Jackie - Silver, Mike -Gold and Scott - Class Winner! Awesome!
Today was clean up, pack up and depart. Some went directly home but others took off north to Medora ND to visit the Theodore Roosevelt Library. It was very interesting, interactive and unique. We’ll be homeward bound tomorrow. Great weather, awesome scenery, fantastic time with friends and put some miles on our cars. It doesn’t get any better than that!
