--="5th Annual Midwest Madness"=--
Calling all Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Illinois Volvo enthusiasts! This is a call to any and all involved with Volvospeed, Turbobricks, Brickboard, Swedespeed or VCOA out there willing to take a trip to the North-woods of Wisconsin.

When: Saturday June 25th to June 26th 2011
This is a 24hr event!

Arrival time: No earlier than 9am.

Where: Fox Run Tavern 1515 S. 65th Ave
Eau Claire, WI 54703

The festivities include:
Making new friends and seeing old acquaintances.
Camping over night... bring your gear!
A barrel of brew
Potluck/Grilling
Horseshoes
Bag Toss
Sand Volleyball
Fire Pit
Raffle prizes
Sunday brunch in town

(scheduled for Saturday early afternoon and Sunday morning)

What your $2 registration includes:
10 free raffle tickets, MMV memento, map and registration form.
Tickets will be 15 for $5 and an arm span for $20.



Just like the last 4 years *I need you, the attendees to provide what we eat Potluck style!*. The subsequent post will be dedicated to those attending members and an update of what they intend to pass for the potluck.

I will provide all the utensils, napkins, cups, ice, and plates.

$5 for a cup provides all the beer you can handle from the KEG. Drink responsibly!
Driving will commence before dinner on Saturday and before brunch on Sunday.


The Fox Run and I would like to welcome you all back, but just keep in mind it's the same old patrons at the bar and they deserve our respect, except for that cock sucker with the lame overworked iron cross chopper. Bathroom space is adequate, however there are no showers on site. I do not provide showers, so a solar shower may be in order, TB style.

PM Wisturbo for further info and regarding your attendance!

[Snabb T5M]

The River Run is about an 8 mile drive we do a few times. You may want to hot lap with Buzz once and then step it up. I decided against the drag strip as this is more of a BBQ atmosphere and the strip takes away from the camping/beer/food/shenanigans.

Time for me to continue my posting across the universe.

Lee, you going to go? Art? John? Tommy? Alain? Everyone?! We could all meet up in Milwaukee or Madison or something and caravan up together.

[Snabb T5M]

Thinking about it. Only hope it isn't like Dubdash last year.

Madison could be better for people who live out in the west suburbs, they could travel up through Rockford.

Can't think like that Lee, gotta stay positive.

That's what I was thinking, since we would go through Madison to go there anyways, might be easier just to meet people from the Chicago area in Madison

If it was a Friday / Saturday event I would consider it but Sunday makes it not possible for me. And the distance makes it too far to just show up for the Saturday fun.

[Snabb T5M]

SWEET!! Looks like Art just got replaced as my wingman. LOL!!!

Art's response:

[Snabb T5M]

People are so seriously annoyed with me at work and my excessively loud laughing.

[gilber33]

Haha. I wish I could sit at the cubicle next to you for just one day.
