- Wednesday July 9th– Group outing at The Wilds – near Zanesville, OH. The Wilds is a World Class natural setting animal park run primarily by the Columbus Zoo – it has over 10,000 acres. They have group tours and catered lunches. Catering as either box lunches or buffet is available. 1 hour drive there and expect about 2 to 2 ½ hours there including lunch

- The Triple Nickel – We leave the Wilds and travel about 15 miles to pick up Ohio State Rt 555 . This is the best Touring Roads in Ohio. While the Motorcycle folks write about it the most, it has great scenic views as most of it follows ridgelines. We’ll take that to OH 78 over to Athens, OH and turn back north up OH 33, to OH 664 to OH 13 to Buckeye Lake. Expect this to be about 3 hours, stopping as needed. OH555 has no services, though.

- Buckeye Lake Winery – Dinner Wednesday evening. Scenic, good food and, of course, wine. They also feature craft brews from nearby Buckeye Lake Brewery, something for everyone. Still working out details, but I’ve pasted some options for groups. http://buckeyelakewinery.com/groups/
- Dublin Arthritis Foundation Car Show - July 10,11 and 12th
Dublin Arthritis Foundation Car Show. A great show and one of, if not the largest car shows in Ohio.
Activities and times posted on their Website: http://www.arthritisautoshow.com/about/general-admission
- Thursday July 10th– Activities begin in Dublin with the Rolling Legends Tour. It is a large group drive with an activity included. This is about a 40 minute drive from Granville so we will have to leave by 8:30AM so we can be in Dublin by 10AM.
- I am planning on organizing our cars to get detailed on Thursday PM. Details to follow. I have talked to Capitol Cadillac to get he cars detailed, they may hold a cookout, too.

- Dublin Accommodations, July 10,11[SUP]th[/SUP] and 12th – Crowne Plaza, 600 Metro Place North, Dublin, OH 43017 . Tel: 614-764-2200. Rooms are blocked - ask for the Arthritis Foundation Car Show. The block is for the car show in general, not just our group. The hotel said that the rooms are blocked until June 8[SUP]th[/SUP] – but rooms sell out typically by mid-May. That why we are starting this early! Room are $119 each. http://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/dublin/cmhdo/hoteldetail
- There is also a nearby Hilton Garden Inn - $139, (614) 766-9900, Embassy Suites , (614) 790-9000, both are on the Metro Place Circle. Also a Marriot Courtyard- (614) 764-9393, about ¼ mile away.
- Friday July 11th– Cruise In. This begins in the morning and spaces are first come first serve. Both the Cruise In and the Car Show take place on the Metro Place North Circle – where our Hotel is located. Registration is 10AM until 6PM. Spaces begin filling up early, so this is an all day activity. There is entertainment and food all day and goes until 11PM. Since activities are all day, plan dinner on the fly.
- Saturday July 12th– Car Show. Registration is at 7:30AM until 11:30AM. Show begins at 10AM. The XLR’s will be registered as our own subgroup. I have to finalize our sponsor yet, but Capitol Cadillac has agreed to sponsor our trophies. Awards Ceremony at 5:30PM.
- Dinner – I hope to get transportation for a group dinner in German Village. There is NO parking in that area, not at least for 30 XLR’s, so a bus will be our best bet. Schmidt’s it the logical choice.
For those that are going for sure, please PM me with your contact information. First, Last name and also if you are bringing your spouse/guest (and his/her name), your Cell phone number, and which days you expect to participate. I will need to get a good idea of numbers for the Buckeye Lake Dinner and the detailing on Thurs. but mostly if we will get a bus on Saturday.

Can't wait to see that! I am hoping to get a bus to take us to German Village either Friday or Saturday for dinner. Not a lot of places to park XLR's in that area.
