Club members and guests are invited to participate in the first NEWLBVR "Vintage Road Trip". We will meet in the parking area at the Beecher Town Park, on the corner of Hwy 141 and Cty Hwy Z. Vehicles may be left there for the day. The group will depart from 141 & Z promptly at 8:00 a.m. You may meet us there and travel with the group or if you prefer, meet us at our first stop. Either way, I will need a count to make group dinner arrangements and to let the museums know how many to expect. Our mode of transportation will depend on the response we receive from our members thus it is VERY IMPORTANT that you RSVP no later than May 10th. Please call Pat or Patti at 715-324-6020 or email vintagepats@yahoo.com to RSVP. If only a few people respond, we will car pool. If we get a greater number, we will need time to set up some thing else. There will be a $10 per person charge to help cover gas expense or transportation charges. It was agreed that the club would cover the transportation costs above and beyond that. In addition, the club agreed to make a small donation in appreciation to the museums. We are putting this event together in response to members expressing interest in doing some club road trips. There are many options for more of these outings, but that will depend on your participation. 

We will leave Beecher at 8:00 a.m. and expect to arrive at our first stop, the Derby Track and Snowmobile Headquarters Museum in Eagle River about 10 a.m. The museum is usually closed at this time of the year, but when I contacted them they graciously offered to open it just for our visit! The 2nd stop will be at the Hall of Fame Museum in St. Germain where the Andersons will warmly welcome our group. They are looking forward to our visit, but they also asked for a count so they'll know how many to expect. There will be a midday stop for lunch at a local eatery. Everyone will be responsible for the cost of his or her own food and beverages. We will then proceed to Eliason Hardware in Sayner to view their display of original Eliason snowmobiles. The final stop of the day will be at Lance's Small Engine & Repair near Manitowish Waters. Lance has an extensive indoor display as well as an outdoor "project and parts sleds" area. Come on along, invite a friend, and enjoy a day of vintage history and fun with fellow club members! Everyone is welcome; we just request that you RSVP no later than May 10th. We're looking forward to seeing lots of members on May 17th!
