OK Gang - Here are some tentative dinner plans for the cruise:

Friday - Dinner 6:30 on the outdoor patio of the Red Ox Tavern on University approx 10 minutes form the hotel. Talked with the owner and he offered the entire outdoor patio (with fire pit), reserved parking, either on the grass in front of the restaurant or blocked off portion of the parking lot, and our group name on the reader sign in front. Downside is no cruise on Woodward unless we do it before or after dinner that night. However, last year we skipped driving Woodward on Friday night due to the heavy traffic.

Saturday - Working with the mgr of the Moose Preserve on Woodward & Sq Lake. Plan is to have dinner there Sat night around 6ish (hopefully on the outdoor patio) and then head back to the hotel parking lot. www.moosepreserve.com/

I think last year's plan to drive Woodward Sat morning from the top all the way down to the parking at 13 Mile is still the best route.

More details to follow on Dream Cruise parking location as they become finalized, but the plan is to park on 13 & Woodward on the SHADED high school lawn with the Prowlers & Vipers.

Weigh in if you have any issues with the dinner plans.

Also, Needswings is proposing cart racing, so we'll need to fit that in, as well as Ms Gump is planning a trip up to northern Mich after the Cruise week-end for anyone interested.

Can't wait until August!
