This year we're going to have a very extensive selection of cruises for everyone. From single day, to multi-day, to those that are far away and link to national events - we're going to make some memories in our 20th year!!

Our spring cruise has been setup as a 1 day cruise to offer a contrast to the multiday cruises we'll have later in the year. Registration has started 2 weeks ago for the spring cruise and we're already at 20 cars. Going to be very well attended. This year we're headed off to Milwaukee! We'll start off the day by meeting at our typical Schaumburg Mall meeting place and then we head off as a group to our first stop which is a custom tour of Miller Park Stadium! We'll enjoy a guided tour that takes us behind the scenes, into the stands, luxury boxes, broadcast booth, locker rooms, and yes, the field! We will have a great lunch and then head off to our next stop which is the famous Milwaukee Beer brewing plant. Here we'll get a tour of how they make beer from start to finish - and yes, we might just get to taste test. We then head to another Milwaukee staple that has a long history with beer, we're going to tour the Pabst mansion! We'll then load back into our cars to close off the day by having dinner around 6pm at the famous Brat Stop which is on the way home for pretty much all of us.

We plan to make this an action packed day. We know the multiday cruises, while most popular, do often make it hard for folks who can only afford the time to do one day. This is for you!

Please be at the meeting place by 7am, we leave promptly at 7:15am. There is also a WI contingent we're linking up with on i94 at the mall on the way (led by Greg). For the registration form and a very detailed write-up on the days event (including where to meet), go to our website at www.illinoisvipers.com. Please register by April 30th at the latest! And for those who always help us by registering early, it's always appreciated so that our planning is easier!

See you there!

Reminder, we're 2 weeks away. We are now already at 30 cars. Frankly we may need to cut this off soon as some of these venues already couldn't accommodate 50 people and we're at 60. Please make us aware of your intent, otherwise some stops may not be available to you. Great showing! (actually beat my expectation for a simple single day cruise!). We'll have a good time. Details are on www.illinoisvipers.com (http://www.illinoisvipers.com).

For those meeting in WI, we will meet at the Pleasant Prairie Culver's overflow parking at 7:45 (I94 and HWY Q/165). Closer to launch we will be staging on the on ramp and will merge with the IL group.

Very excited for this trip!!!!

If I would have known this would happen - we would have communicated a limit. Typically we're slower for the first cruise of the year. At this moment we're at nearly 40 cars!

Looking forward to it! If it makes a difference Alex I think I'm coming solo despite replying there would be 2 of us. I forgot my son has a baseball game so Linda is staying back with him. I'm not having any luck finding someone who wants to leave here at 4:00am (ha) so my +1 ticket can be used by someone else for free if they want to drive themselves solo too.
