Here is a link to a map of where to be at 9:15AM: http://makeashorterlink.com/?O3F9225D5 This is a mapquest map so don't be shy - zoom back to bugaha and see how to get there. Some are coming from Michigan, some Illinois, some Wisconsin. Russ - are you gonna show? Or is Northern Wisconsin got your attention this time of year - beautiful weekend. Okay - this is the plan. Rendezvous at the Sanfilippo house at 9:15AM. This will be a little tough, as there will be about 100 cars along a 2 lane rural road until George Carlson arrives in his daughter's 350SDL. Then the gates to the estate open and all cars come inside the estate and park - gates will remain open once they are opened. So, we will gather or attempt to gather as a critical mass back by the road at the parking area. George may pull up and park at the mansion in the 350SDL, but me in my rusting 240D and Jan in her blue TD should be critical mass and that should be a magnet to find any others coming. If we do not get ahold of all of us at entrance to the estate, we will see each other during the tour and then coalesce at 11:30 at the exit from the estate tour and I will lead us all to the Carlson ranch where the bbq is already well wrapped up. It may rival the Cyclone in Waco, TX - I dunno. It sure made the tastebuds hungry the other nite when I visited. Not too late to arrive or plan on arriving - just let Jan know - jan-at-buy-a-boat.com 262.553.1998 or (847.338.8808 cell) would like to know as she and George daugher are the real nuts-n-bolts party put together handlers. Me - laisez faire - you gonna be there, great. Just show up - no RSVP. Just be aware that the estate gates will be open 9:30 to 12 AM - this is not a staffed museum - it is a rural estate of the second largest nut roaster in the country - Jasper Sanfilippo. You will meet Jasper, and he is soooo very gracious to let us walk thru on the recommendation of his good friend George Carlson - that we are not the types to trash a magnificent estate - George has his reputation and ours on the line each time we go, and so far, so good. The majority of the guests tomorrow will be from the steam power club which George is part of. Here is a link to pictures took in May03 - a couple months ago - Jan, RussM, and myself showed for this walk thru: http://www.buy-a-boat.com/music_machines.htm Dan ChicagoArea ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 17:52:18 -0500 From: Jan Guthrie Subject: [db] Midwest Listfest _ Are YOU coming?
