Event Report for Red Lewis Community Car Show and Door Coounty Drive
Friday afternoon started out with a meet and greet at Dan and Renee's beautiful home overlooking the bay. After mingling and getting to know each other, we went to a traditional
Wisconsin fish fry at Highland Howie's. Saturday morning started early about 7:00 with cars being polished and dried off from the rain the night before and they were all lined up by 8:00.
The morning went by quickly, talking to people asking questions about the Miata's. A few of us went to the farmers market, which was adjacent to the car show, and some people toured the
adjacent car museum. We took a lunch break at the nearby Fox Harbor pub for a nice lunch. After the car show broke up around 2 o'clock, Dan Dallich. led a short drive along the Fox River
to Coffee and Cream in Wrightstown for an ice cream break. It had a beautiful outdoor area overlooking the river. Then we followed the east side of the Fox River back to Saint Brendan's
in Green Bay, for a great dinner that evening.
On Sunday morning, we lined up at about 8:30 to get going on our Door County ride. We had
a scenic drive up the back roads of west shore to Gills Rock Town Park where Dan and Renee
brought out Uncle Mike’s Kringle and coffee or tea. The CURVY ROAD, a well paved S-curves
perfect for Miatas, came next. And we all enjoyed the experience. Then the ride went down the
east side of Door County to Cave Point County Park and where we saw the caves that had
been formed by the waves. The ride ended with a stop to get ice cream (!) before everyone
headed home.
Many thanks to Dan & Renee, Craig, and Brian and Grace for a great Green Bay/Door County weekend!

35th Anniversary Silent Action Update
The auction committee is very happy and grateful to announce that we now have a sufficient number of donations for our auction on August 9th. Your generosity has been a blessing.
At this time, we are asking that you email Patty Kobus via goodkobus@yahoo.com
- The complete donation description
- A picture if possible
- The estimated value, if you wish. This will secure your firm placement on the auction table(s) and help the committee for planning the donation check-in and
arrangement of auction tables, etc.
Patty will respond to your email and finalize our catalogue of each donor and the donation. If you have any questions, please email the address above and we will clear up any confusion,
etc.
Donors, when you arrive at The Lodge in Mauston, you will drop off your donation at the registration in the lobby or be directed to the donation room where we will tag your item and
store it for safe keeping. You will have your name inscribed on a donators' sign board to be displayed in the banquet room in gratitude for your generosity.
Everyone who wants to bid at the auction, bring your checkbook or cash for the purchase of bid tickets. Our donors and bidders can be proud of their contributions to three worthy charities:
Tunnels to Towers, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and/or Wisconsin Humane Society. If you buy auction tickets by check, you can write the check to the charity of your choice!
"Polaroid" pix at 35th Anniversary Banquet
"Do you remember how fun Polaroid photos were, back in the day? Event photographer Jeremy Zorns will be prepared to take Polaroid portraits during the banquet. If you're interested, please let
Jeremy know by email to jzorns@gmail.com and bring $2 cash for a photo (to pay for the expensive film) and he will happily provide a modern-day photo.
He needs an approximate count, so he can be sure to have enough film on hand.
There is an improved technology out now called Instax by Fujifilm. It is a higher quality, more archival equivalent to the old Polaroid. Print size is about the same.
Jeremy has found that sometimes when photos are taken but not printed, they just tend to disappear and a "Polaroid" would be a fun memento of this momentous occasion.
Please let him know by the end of June, so there's time to order the film and have it cheaply shipped to him."!
