Meet the MWFC clubs!
Midwest Fiero Clubs is a dedicated group of enthusiasts whose passion is to promote and preserve the Pontiac Fiero and the Fiero Community. MWFC has organized and facilitated Anniversary Fiero Events. The Midwest Fiero clubs is a joint effort consisting of multiple Fiero clubs. In this post we are featuring one of those clubs, the Mid-Atlantic Fiero Owners Association.
The Mid Atlantic Fiero Owners Association was first formed in December 1994 thru the efforts of 16 Fiero owners who met at the IRM Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. The owners came from Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania and became the first charter members of the club. Over the years, the Mid Atlantic Fiero Owner's Association, also known as MAFOA, grew in size from that small group of 16 to well over 100 members in states from Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware and New Jersey. The club is one of the oldest on the East Coast and is responsible for many achievements involving the Fiero over the years since the the club's formation in 1994.
The club initially formed a newsletter called Mid Atlantic Pride. This was a small publication that was sent to its membership that covered events that the club was involved in and offered items of interest for its membership. The newsletter changed its name when joining efforts with a sister club from the New England area, the New England Fiero Association. The newsletter then became known as the FieroPride newsletter. This expanded newsletter offered the same information as the original newsletter but in a larger format that was sent to the clubs' members 4 times a year. In 2014, the two clubs also began publishing a monthly e-news update available to all members.
Fieros at Carlisle just celebrated its 26th year. We are already planning for Year 27 which will take place June 24-27 in Carlisle, PA in conjunction with the Chevrolet (GM) Nationals at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. This event includes cruises, local activities, go-karting, group meals, the GM Swap Meet and the "big" show on Saturday, June 26.

The club has offered several shows each year. The highlight of the show season for the club is "Fieros at Carlisle" held as part of the Chevrolet/GM Nationals Show at the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, PA. Until 2007, this show was actually part of the Import/Kit-Car Nationals. The club also regularly holds a spring and fall show. The spring show and swap meet rotates locations and the fall show takes place as part of a larger all-car show in Neffsville, PA. Both events offer something for everyone and are also open to all members and non-members of the club. Other events that take place throughout the year include cruises, tech sessions and attending other shows with fellow Fiero owners.
