Hello Riders? We are pleased to announce our first “destination” trip of 2021. We will be going to The Dirty Turtle in Mauston on Saturday,
August 7th on a boat cruise (The Cruisin Turtle). This is back by popular demand and those of you that went with us a few years ago know how much fun it is. Following are the details:
The date of August is actually Mauston’s “Waterfest” weekend. The Cruisin Turtle (the boat we were on a few years ago) is being leased to Juneau County for Waterfest. I have been in contact with Juneau County and have reserved 25 seats on the boat. The cost for the boat is $25/per person. This block of seats will be on hold until the end of June at which time we have to give them a final count and pay for the seats. After the end of June, those seats that we don’t take will be opened up to the general public. The boat leaves at sunset (8-8:30 pm) and cruises around the lake to an island where they will be shooting off fireworks. The fireworks display is supposed to be good and we will have the best seats in the house for the show. There will be some food onboard (sub sandwiches, snacks, and beverages) but we will be allowed to bring our own food and beverages onboard. This is a rain or shine event and the $25/per person is non-refundable unless Waterfest cancels the boat due to severe weather.
A block of rooms has also been reserved at the Super 8 in Mauston for 8/7 under the name “The Kenosha Group”. If you would like a room, you will need to call and put the room in your name prior to July 22nd. The Super 8’s phone number is 608-847-2300.
The $25 for the Cruisin Turtle will be due by 6/19 which is our next Moose Riders meeting at Michaels on the Lake before the Fun Ride – 11:00 am. If I am not at the meeting, please give the money to our treasurer Debbie. Again, the $25 is non-refundable unless the event is canceled by Juneau County. We will discuss plans for the event in further detail at our July Meeting.
