“Badgers Go Buckeye” Caravan
Wisconsin Unit Caravan 2011
BADGERS GO BUCKEYE
The Wisconsin Unit is happy to announce this year’s caravan plans will include a wild trip to the Buckeye State to attend Alumapalooza and the Spirit of Cleveland National Rally. Join your hosts Ed & Sandy Emerick on this exciting trip to the state of our births as we sample many of the pleasures that Ohio can offer.
The caravan will begin on May 27, 2011 in Appleton, WI and we will begin our travels the following morning. Our route will take us over the top of Michigan as we explore the UP and avoid the Chicago traffic. The trip will include stops in Mackinaw City, Frankenmuth, MI, Port Clinton, OH and finally arriving at Alumapalooza on May 31, 2011. We will stay at that event until the morning of June 5, 2011. We will depart for a stop in Columbus, OH, the Akron, OH area and Cleveland, OH to attend the Spirit of Cleveland National Rally arriving in the late afternoon of June 8, 2011. This rally will run from June 8, 2011 through June 12, 2011 (see the December Blue Beret for additional rally information).
Come explore the great State of Ohio with us as we attend Alumapalooza, one of the finer events for Airstream owners, eat famous Barberton Chicken in the Akron area and tour the Westside Market and the Christmas Story house in Cleveland. We will also have stops in the Tourist Traps of Mackinaw City enjoying their many shops and beautiful views of the bridge and the Christmas town of Frankenmuth, MI with its German style food and brewery. Our stop in Port Clinton offers either peaceful camping on the shores of Lake Erie or in the mayhem and bustle of Cedar Point Amusement Park’s 5 star campground. I will make this reservation depending on the feedback of the attendees, but if you ask me I Cedar point is my favorite campground in the world!
This is a pay as you go caravan, attendees are responsible for make their own reservation at Alumapalooza (go to alumapalooza.com to register) and the Sprit of Cleveland National Rally (coupon available in the December Blue Beret or call Tom Christopher @ 440-953-9559). These evens will fill quickly so make your reservation now and come join us on this fun filled adventure!
