So any further questions please ask ASAP. All of our phone numbers are on the website so feel free to call us also.

Yea I was going to let the hat out of the bag when I was talking about those two bars by the hotel, Smitty. We are doing a pub crawl, I believe 9 bars, 7 are walking distance from the grounds and virtually are all on 2 blocks, the other 2 are the ones by the hotel. This will run from Tuesday to Thursday. We wanted to include the city of Elkhorn as much as we can so this was one idea. No being there Sunday doesnt count, but I am sure they will enjoy your company.

If a burn ban does happen, it is possible that they will not allow charcoal grills. This is just something to think about while packing for the Nats. | | | Re: 40th Van Nationals July 11-15, 2012 Wisconsin | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 22 stranger | stranger Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 22 | If I traveled straight across to the west in a straight line I would run smack dab into Elkhorn WI.

How are the temps looking--we are having the heat wave of the ages here in central Indiana. Wondering which set of clothes should get packed the most!
If I remember correctly, it was 100 last time the Nats were in WI! We've been acclimating since then!
Cherish your friends! HUGGS to all! Suzie
