The 25th Annual Millard Fillmore Weekend!

SUDS Social Club Presents:
The 25th Annual Millard Fillmore Weekend (we think it's 25th)


It’s that time, again… time to sign-up for our annual sojourn to Baraboo, Wisconsin.
It’s time to begin preparing your body for the 48 hours of endless eating, drinking, swimming, skiing, sleeping,gambling, more eating, more drinking and maybe no sleeping to which we have all become accustomed during the past 20+ trips. But, as always, this trip will be the best. As we did last year, we will be serving a few hundred hot dogs and numerous snacky-snacks in the Bob Miller Memorial Snack Area (located by the pool) on Friday night.

For those of you that cannot remember (because some of us are getting old…or sober), here’s what you can expect.

We’ll stay at The Mayflower Hotel II in the Wisconsin Dells. Be prepared to take advantage of the indoor pool, hot tub, sauna and game rooms that we’ll keep open until 1:00 am (or later) on Friday and Saturday nights. As in previous years, we’ll host a hospitality suite in the pool area. Of course, it will be stocked with a few kegs-o-beer, soda, wine, snacky-snacks (giddy-up!!!) AND FROZEN ADULT BEVERAGES (they don’t make slurpees like these at 7-11).

Once again, we’ll patronize The Big Country Colossal Breakfast Buffet (4 minutes from the hotel), offering a smorgasbord of beverages and breakfast treats.

Dinner on Saturday evening will again be at Wally’s House of Embers (across the street from the hotel - www.houseofembers.com). You will have a choice of prime rib or a combo BBQ ribs / roasted chicken dinner served with a salad, baked potato and a hot fudge sundae for dessert. A child menu is also available.

As always, the price of the trip includes your hotel room on Friday and Saturday, a ski lift ticket for Saturday, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, dinner Saturday evening and your beer/wine/soda/FROZEN BEVERAGES on Friday and Saturday nights.

Did I mention you can ski at Cascade Mountain (lift ticket valid from 9:00am –
10:00pm Saturday is included in the package price) and/or gamble at the 24-hour gaming, liquor-serving ‘til 2:00am Ho-Chunk casino (about a 20 minute drive from the hotel)?

Dates:
January 25-27, 2008
NOTE: This is the bye weekend between the NFL Division Championship games and the Super Bowl

Christmas Lights!

Suds Annual-ish Christmas Lights Tour will take place on Saturday, December 8, 2007.

Same as the last few times: Dinner at Blue Agave at 7:00, wander as we choose after, even if it is just to wander to another bar or to our cars to go home. A good time is typically had by all who can remember.

Please RSVP to sudsski@gmail.com before December 1. Hope to see you then!

Oh, and for those who wonder:
Yes, there was talk of a party, but since it is such a busy time of year for everyone it seemed as if there might not be enough interest. So, just planning a dinner made sense.
