For all of you Wisconsin folks who like to spend some time in the north woods, Iron Mountain MI is right on the border and across the Menominee River. It’s just a short 1 or 2 hour road trip from Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Rhinelander, Marinette, Stevens Point, and Wausau. If you’re down in Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, Madison, or even Chicago IL, it’s a 3 to 5 hour drive, which is still very reasonable for a weekend. If you need a place to stay, just do a quick Google search and you’ll see an abundance of lodging in the Iron Mountain area.
So don’t wait! If you’re looking for something different and unique to do on a weekend in early summer up north, get your tickets now because attendance is limited to 500 people to keep this event intimate, casual, and relaxing. There will be plenty of ale, lager, cider, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages on hand.
