    Proud Lake looks nicer to me. Don't worry about the distance for me ... I don't mind driving at all.

    MIS is having an Indy Car race the weekend of July 29-30. http://www.mispeedway.com/tickets/ Tickets for qualifying only on Saturday are just $10. Race day reserved grandstand are $40.

    Problem with having a 'fest during the Dream Cruise is accomodations. It IS a blast, though! This year's Cruise is Saturday, August 19. http://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/Visitor.html

    BUT neither of those events is happening on the weekend in question. What IS happening July 19-22 is the Ann Arbor Art Fairs:

    I think I would come if I could hitch a ride with someone from Wisconsin. It might be fun.

    Yep, it's still happening on the 22nd. I'm coming up with two sets of plans for both good weather and inclement weather. I figure we can do something outdoors with the good weather and indoors if it's bad.

    Any ideas for an indoor location if it's raining?

    Any park pavillions in the area? That's a good all around shelter unless the wind is blowing hard. I think we will try and do that here in Septemberfest.

    I guess it's time to make an executive decision. Let's plan on meeting at the Kensington Metro Park. I've been there before and it is huge. No lack of picnic areas. It costs $4 to get in the park per car(in-and-out privs). I or someone else can get into the park earlier in the day and set up at a nice spot -- near grills and bathrooms. Once a spot is nailed down, we can put up a sign at the entrance of the park saying which area we are at. Park hours are from 6am to 10pm. If some people are planning on driving in on Saturday from out of state, we can plan on meeting up around noon-ish? It should stay light out until almost 10pm.

    Pot-luck ok? I can bring a couple of coolers to keep food/drinks(alcohol is allowed) that need to be chilled. If you're not able to bring a dish, don't worry. But it would be nice if you have a specialty to bring it along. *hint hint* Knowing me, I'll probably bring a ton of food.

    It might be a good idea to bring along outdoor folding chairs if you have them. Most places sell them for like $10.

    If you're like me and tend to forget names, I'll bring some sticky name tags for whoever wants to wear them.(I know it would help me!)

    Let's just have some fun!

    And here is a map of the park and how to get there:

    Just plug in your address or zipcode to get driving directions to Kensington here.
