What: Saab Invasion Of Wisconsin
When: July 18, 2009 12pm til ???
Where: Sunset Park in Green Lake, Wisconsin
Hosted By: Sleepy7666~Dylan Southworth and Snowsaab86~Bryan Soles

Sunset Park
East side of Green Lake on Hwy. A
Plenty of parking, sandy bottom and multiple ramps makes this the most popular boat launch on the east end of the lake. Picnic tables, grassy areas and a swimming make this a great spot for all-day visitors to the lake. The lake at this end has a sandy bottom and is shallow making for a great place to start water skiers of all ages.
Join us for a cookout, swimming, country drive cruising, photo-shoot, part swap, and of course Saabs galore....

Food:
Food and Drink is BYO. The park has grills for public use and I will have some grilling supplies. I will be bring some generic 2 liter soda to share.

Subway is also available for preorder by PM-ing Dylan with your Order. You will have to Paypal the money. He will use his employee discount for those who choose that route.

Alcohol:
Cheap Alcohol is Wisconsin's bread and butter. Several Stores are nearby the GTG Location.

Hotel Accommodations:
PM Dylan or Bryan and we'll see what we can work out for those who have a long distance commute.

Parts Swap:
PM Dylan with the items your bringing. I will make a master list and forward it to the people who RVSP. No set prices are needed. Haggling and the purchases are up to each private party.

What you should bring:
Swimming Apparel, Grilling Food, Drink, Disposable Dishes, Items for Sale, Your Saab (if you have one... One isn't required.)

Required:
A good attitude and your love for Saab.

FYI, the park I picked last time was Burrows Park in Madison, WI.

http://maps.google.com/maps?sourcei...x_z2SeLQIIvWMMPboLoP&ll=43.102111,-89.366827&spn=0.041925,0.111237&z=14&iwloc=A

I think Madison is a great place to meet, but depending on how many people decide to come, that park may not be the best spot. There is the chance that a group could or may already have rented the park out for whatever day the meet is on, and the parking area is not terribly large. Plus it is somewhat residential there.

Not sure if anyone from either area could scout some good places to have a bunch of cars together or not, but I think that would be wise. It can be somewhat hard to get a feel for a good spot via the internet.

Sounds like a great time. Throw me in the Minneapolis caravan. I'm sure I can get work off as long as I know the date a month or so ahead of time. I'd either get a hotel room in the Twin Cities the night before or steal someones couch so I didn't have to get up so early and make the 2 hour trek to the metro.

Also want a PM with other info? Cell phone number, anything else?
