Posting this from a friend who is involved. This meet started as a Missouri Probe Owner's Club(MOPOC) deal but has since expanded to include other Mazdas/Mazda-powered vehicles and this year is promising to be bigger and better than ever! I've gone to 2 of these and it's good times with good people.
This is a yearly meet we have been having for almost 10 years now!...and it is back again this year! Also the STL crew will be getting together Saturday morning to caravan out there, post or PM me if you have questions.

This is kind of up to everyone what they want to do and also the weather. There is a Putt-putt/go-kart/etc..place that we went to last year which is along the cruise route somewhat.
There is also a pool hall in downtown Columbia, there is also a Bowling alley nearby.
