JUNE 5TH PARTY UPDATE FROM SHIRL I just personally wanted to extend another open invite from Bruce & I to anyone that wants to come to Bristol, WI and enjoy great company, great food, and hopefully lots & lots of Buicks. Bruce has worked non-stop since we closed to get the house just ready for us to live in, not even having time to stop and think/plan for June 5th. So it will be a well deserved day of rest for him and a great opportunity to meet some of those faces behind the names I hear him tell me about on V8 Buick (all good of course) and share some stories, some laughs and some good friends, as well as meet some local WI car club members. Ive tried to scan back through the post to try to tally up everyone that replied that said they were coming, but that was just too tough to read between the lines. With the I mights, and I think I can make its and then the yes for sure well be there replies, it was just too difficult to sift through for sure who was coming and who couldnt make it. SO . . . . . If everyone could email me @ ss_durband@yahoo.com and let me know FOR SURE that you can make it and how many, that would be great. Id like to know how many adults and/or children will be coming. Planning for food is definitely better if you know how many you have to feed. When I get your email confirming youre coming, Ill email you back with our address and directions on how to get to our new place. If you have any specific questions, please let me know that too. Here are a few highlights about the party: BRING YOUR BUICK (OR NOT), AS THERE WILL BE SOME OTHER LOCAL CAR CLUB MEMBERS ATTENDING). FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE THAT BEAUTY IN THE SHOP DONT LET NOT BRINGING YOUR BUICK STOP YOU FROM ATTENDING. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF FELLOW MEMBERS TO MEET AND GREET. BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIRS THE YARD IS A WIDE OPEN SPACE SO IF ITS SUNNY YOU MIGHT WANT SOME SUNSCREEN FOR THE KIDDIES BRING YOUR APPETITE. FOOD WILL BE SIMPLE, BUT MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GO AROUND. (WITH JUST MOVING; SIMPLE IS MY MIDDLE NAME AT THIS POINT) WILL BE A VARIETY OF BEVERAGES AVAILABLE, FROM WATER TO BEER, WINE, POP (REG & DIET), ETC. IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIAL REQUESTS, SEND ME AN EMAIL AS ID RATHER HAVE SOMETHING EVERYONE LIKES, THAN LOTS OF LEFT OVERS THAT I WONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH AFTER EVERYONE IS GONE HOME. THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR KIDS TO PLAY (SAFELY AWAY FROM THE CARS) AND EVEN A NICE COUNTY PARK NEXT DOOR WITH A PLAYGROUND. MAKE IT A SLEEPOVER; BRING YOUR TENT AND SLEEPING BAGS IF YOU DARE OR IF YOU NEED HOTEL ACCOMODATIONS, LET ME KNOW THAT WHEN YOU EMAIL ME AND ILL GET YOU A LIST OF LOCAL HOTELS. OBVIOUSLY OUR HOME CANT ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE IF THEY ARE PLANNING TO SLEEP OVER, BUT WE DO HAVE A FEW SPARE BEDS WE ARE WILLING TO OFFER UP. RAFFLE PRIZES PARTY START TIME? ? ANYTIME AFTER 9:00 AM ON SATURDAY WILL WORK FOR US, HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO ARRIVE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND CAMP OUT, YOURE WELCOME TO COME EARLY. JUST LET US KNOW IN ADVANCE SO WE KNOW WHO TO EXPECT AND WHEN. SO SHINE UP THOSE BUICKS AND GET THOSE MOTORS WARMED UP AND I HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE ON THE 5TH. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESITONS, PLEASE EMAIL ME THAT EMAIL ADDRESS AGAIN IS ss_durband@yahoo.com :3gears: :3gears: :TU: :TU: :beer
Man I really want to try and get up there. Would take me getting time away from divorcing people to put the stage one back together and good weather to get me there. I have a wedding in Rockford on June 6th; how far from your place to Rockford?
Robert, your looking at about 50 mile's. You could head south from Bruce's place a few miles to westbound Rt. 173 and ride that all the way to Rockford. :3gears: D. :bglasses:
