The festivities will begin with the traditional welcoming
reception on Sunday evening. For
the spouse/guests, Monday and Tuesday will offer various
activities in the Green Bay area including a luncheon cruise
on the Fox River, a visit to a cheese factory and other
sightseeing/shopping. Monday evening will be on your own and
the banquet will be Tuesday evening.
The educational meeting will commence on Monday morning
and end Wednesday at noon. More than the usual number of
exhibitors is expected for this meeting.
Visitors to the Green Bay area will discover that there
is much more to Wisconsin than cheese and football.
Excellent fishing is offered on the Fox River, Green Bay,
and Lake Michigan. Guided fishing trips are available. Many
museums are located in the Green Bay area, including the
National Railroad Museum, which has many train exhibits
and includes an open air train ride. The
Oneida Nation Museum has many historical exhibits on
Native Americans. For Packer and NFL fans, a museum and
pub/restaurant is located at the historic
Lambeau Field. The Green Bay area is very scenic and can
be enjoyed by hiking the many trails, by car, or even a
cruise in a yacht on the Fox River or Green Bay itself. Golf
courses galore will please the golfers in your party. Other
attractions to mention a few are zoos, botanical gardens,
wineries, chocolate factories, and casinos.
There truly is entertainment for everyone. Green Bay is
the oldest city in Wisconsin and was once the home of
trading posts where beaver pelts were obtained for the
making of hats. An important fact: Did you know splinter
free toilet paper was invented and first manufactured in
Green Bay?
You might want to plan on an extra day or two in the
Green Bay area as there is so much to see and do.
Hope to see you all in September!
