Join us on Saturday October 25th at 10:30 AM for our 2008 Fall Drive as we go on a day trip to Galena, IL.
It should be a nifty drive there with a couple of interesting stops, followed by fun activities**
and dinner at Frank O’Dowd’s Pub, before returning to Madison in the late evening.
You are welcome to take the drive only, or stay for the entire day of activities.
We need to have an accurate count, so if you will be a part of this event on Sat 10/25, please email us or post a reply on the site.
The starting point will be at 10:30 a.m. at Star Cinema in Fitchburg. 6091 Mckee Rd.
The drive there will take just over 2.5 hours with 2 stops planned along the way.
The return trip will be direct and will take about 2 hours.
Feel free to join us no matter what vehicle you may be driving, as the roads are nice and fast.
**Alpine Slide: (Weather Permitting) Ride a sled down 2,050 ft. of tailored track to the banks of the Mississippi at Chestnut Mountain Resort. The scenic lift whisks you back to the top where on a clear day the three-state view is as much the attraction as the slide down.
**Shopping: A huge variety of shops to browse, including a winery and Poopsie’s, which has some of the wackiest stuff you’re likely to see.
**An evening with photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen
Meet Tom as he premiers 18 new-release, limited-edition images from Antarctica, Argentina, Kenya, and other locations. He is recognized as one of the world’s premier nature photographers and will sign his books and share stories from his recent travels from 5 to 9 p.m. at Images of Nature Gallery, 421 S. Main St.
