Our July 31-August 2 weekend is almost set. Just a few details remain, but your input is much needed. We need to know if you are coming so reservations can be made, goodie bags prepared, meals ordered and beverages purchased.

FRIDAY: The weekend will kick off at the Delafield Brew House at 11:00 AM for lunch on your own and time to get to know the others who will be driving the kettles afterward. Hotzes are leading this ride, and they always find twists and turns. Then, at 5:00PM it's time to regroup at the popular Fox and Hounds Restaurant. Their Friday fish fry is delicious and included in the registration fee. After that, a moonlight ride to Appleton, with maybe an ice cream stop on the way. Once there it's time to pick up your personal goodie bag and relax with new or longtime friends.

SATURDAY, after breakfast provided by LaQuinta, it's time to scoot over to Bergstrom Automotive. Those great folks are letting us use their parking lot for games with our cars. Cinealises are lining those up, and they are professional gamers, so it's sure to be a crazy-fun time! Dennis and Jane Schmidt are planning one of their exciting rides that always have interesting, unexpected challenges. While some of you no longer have your Miatas and will be driving OTMs* you will be able to participate in the "Schmidt Drive", but unfortunately, it is not recommended for the funcana. That will be a great time to chat. Those of you with your Miatas will be able to participate in both the funcana and the Schmidt Drive. Lunch will also be at Bergstrom Auto and is included in registration.

By 5:00 everyone should be ready for more food. So, we'll caravan over to Liberty Hall in Kimberly for a family style banquet, also included in the registration fee. People will be recognized, great prizes awarded, and there will be a few more surprises.

On SUNDAY morning you may sleep in, enjoy breakfast at LaQuinta, and then caravan to Neenah again to tour the Bergstrom-Mahler Glass Museum. They are known worldwide for their collection of glass paperweights, and also have some glass art pieces dating back to the 1500s. Yes, there is a gift shop too. The Director also has a Miata, so we may recruit a new member!

**When you make your LaQuinta reservations, be sure to state property #9000 -- that's the Appleton/Fox River Mall location.

Also delighted to announce that Dave and Louise Fogelstrom, the founders of the Badgerland Club, will be with us. Our BMC was one of the earliest Miata clubs in the country, and founder Dave will bring stories of the days when 57 cars were a big deal, and one of them had a trunk full of adult beverages! So, complete the registration form on the web site. Note if you have special dietary needs- and join us in this celebration of driving, eating and making friends.

Specially designed 25th Anniversary Miata apparel designed by Lin Carlson is available. You can see it and order it at any of our events as well as on the website. You can find it in the blue bar at the top of the front page under "Stuff" or through merchandise@badgerlandmiataclub.com or phone 262-544-0635

* In case you forgot, "OTM" means "other than Miata
