POST INCLUDES UPDATED INFO BELOW!!
Finalized Itinerary For The Meet:
Meet at Grandad Bluff Park at 9:00AM for car show/meet and greet with WISHOC and MNSHOC members. You are encouraged to bring beverages and anything else you'd like (especially cameras). The park itself sits atop a 600' bluff overlooking the City of La Crosse. There is no physical address for the park, apparently.
After the show, we will attend a brewery tour at La Crosse's City Brewery (link here ), which will take about an hour. Those who are not 21 may not consume any alcoholic beverages.
After a group cruise up the Great River Road, which runs along the Mississippi River, the group will attend a museum tour at Elmer's Auto & Toy Museum, with a collection of over one hundred vintage, muscle, and special cars, as well as motorcycles and various toys.
Finally, the group will travel back to La Crosse for dinner at T.G.I. Friday's.
Additionally, anyone who wants to stay in LAX overnight, I will be there and will plan a group drive or something the next day (Sunday) depending on interest. If anything, we can just hang out at a hotel and have a 12 pack or hit up a bar (or bars
) in La Crosse.
All in all, this should be a great event, and I'm hoping for a sizeable turnout. Also, if this event goes well, it will set the stage for many bigger and better things down the road
Here is my altered google map showing the park and the brewery:
And I almost forgot, but there is an admission fee for both the brewery and museum. Brewery is $1 and museum is $6. Looking forward to the weekend
