Dates: July 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th


There are no registration fees for this years C.A.F.C.N.A. National Event. All meals, events, attraction and anything else that you choose to do are to be paid for by each member. We are going to arrange some group discounts and we will post details as we get them.

We are asking members to bring 5 or more of any nonperishable food items or household items such as laundry soap, bleach, shampoo etc. as a donation to a local food bank. Fill a bag, please be generous!

We understand that all members will not want or be able to attend all of the events, it is up to you to choose from this schedule or from the alternate events and attend the attractions that are best suited to you and your family!

There will be threads started in the C.A.F.C.N.A. National Chevy Avalanche GTG area that will give more details of each attraction and tour that is planned or available.

Early Afternoon: Check in at the hotel and Register for event. Meet and greet on the 2nd floor party deck
of the Paddlewheel building. Modding out in the parking lots of course!


6PM: Dinner at The Pines for us early arrivals!

2700 Michigan Rd, Madison, IN


The rest of the evening and night are free to explore the
river and the town. Parking in the downtown area is
limited and there will be no room for parking a group
of Avalanches together. That is not saying that you cannot
drive and park downtown, just that we will not be able to park together.
HOWEVER the hotel is just a few blocks away AND I have arranged
for the hotel golf carts to transport people back and forth to town if you choose to!

9:30AM: Show and Shine

This will be held on the Riverboat Inn's lower grounds (on the riverfront).
There are restrooms, a large tent and beautiful views!

IN CASE OF RAIN OR WET GROUNDS:

Kathie has said from the begining that we could all park on the lower grounds and have access to the large tent, restrooms UNLESS it has been raining and the grounds are to wet for traffic. With this in mind I secured a alternate location SO if you don't find us at the River Boat Inn's lower grounds we will be at:

Ponderosa Steakhouse
327 Clifty Falls Dr. Madison, In

Yes the same place that we will hold our group dinner!
If we have to move because of rain it may turn into a WASH & SHINE  >:D

Raffle ticket sales for the donated items will be going on at this event,
please be generous as all proceeds will be donated to charity (after our
small expenses).

I will pass out awards for the winners of a few categories at the group dinner later in the day!


Jomomma started a thread about a Craft Auction.

Donated items will be in a Silent Auction or sold during the Show and Shine.

For those going downtown for lunch after the Show & Shine member frito has arranged a tour of the old and still operating movie theater in Madison. The theater was built in 1938 and I am sure there are many interesting things to see. Meet up with frito out front a just before 1:45 for the tour.

would be a great alternative. If any interest is shown I will post

4:30PM: Group Dinner
Ponderosa Steakhouse
327 Clifty Falls Dr. Madison, In

the Salvation Army attending that will be presented the proceeds from all of your donations!
 


 

8PM: (or as soon as we finish our group dinner)  Cruise to The Belterra Casino Resort


777 Belterra Dr, Florence, IN

Feeling Lucky? Those wishing to visit the Casino can cruise there with Didit right after our Group dinner. The Casino is just a 35 min. drive from The Ponderosa Steakhouse.


Another Choice:

For those with children or those who are not into gambling there will be a cruise led by enoniam & the Mrs. The Bel-Air is located in Versailles, Indiana and is a 27 mile drive. They have not published what movies will be shown yet but we can find out before going there.

Sunday, July 27th:

Goodbye breakfast at Frisch's Big Boy.

Madison Frisch's Big Boy
460 Clifty Drive
Madison, In


I spoke with the manager and while they do not have a separate room that we can use she said that they are not that busy until 9AM. I suggest that we arrive between 8AM & 9AM so that we can sit in the same area.


Hope that you had a great time!


 
Schedule posted.......subject to some small changes of course!
 
BUMP

I'm in for....
Thursday Dinner at "The Pines"
Louisville Slugger Museum
Friday "Wine Trail"
Show-n-Shine and Raffle
Saturday "Thunder Boat Ride"
Group Dinner at "Ponderosa"
 
I'm thinking we should be there by 6, so count Deb and I in for dinner.
 
Looks like we got ourselves a group EARLY DINNER!
 
The Pines - Madison, Indiana
2700 Michigan Road
Madison, Indiana 47250


The Pines is a Locally owned buffet and catering restaurant. We ate there on the scouting trip and found it much better that the "chain buffets" I am not sure if they have a menu that you can order from but the buffet is very appealing.
