Yes boys and girls, I'm sorry to say but it's getting to be that time of year again so....get ready to shine your Vettes and CTS-V's, and rev your engines for the-end-of-the-driving-season world-famous Dexter Cider Mill Cruise which is set for Saturday, October 21st!

Please pass this invitation on to any friends who may be interested in attending.

We will gather together for an afternoon of cruising with Mother Nature’s cooperation. This cruise will be an all back roads ride through the scenic Michigan countryside. And as always, the caravan will travel in packs, and no one is left behind to fend for themselves.

I'm looking for volunteers to be a "pack leader." Maps and driving directions will be provided.

Lunch will be at the Common Grille in Chelsea, MI



After lunch, it's on to the Dexter Cider mill!!!


Here’s the link to the Dexter Cider Mill website: http://www.dextercidermill.com/





Dexter is a very quaint town that resembles Mayberry RFD. During the fall season, there are several festivals going on in the main Town Square.

The Dexter Cider Mill has been in existence for over 100 years, and has the great unfiltered cider we all enjoyed as a kid. The cinnamon doughnuts are greasy and sugary, and they also sell the usual wide fare of apple related items in the store.

Don't forget to bring your fly swatters so you can whack away at the bees that will be circling your cider cup! (seriously, I'm bringing one!)





When we arrive Dexter, we will drive and park as close to or on the property of the cider mill as we can.

Here’s the itinerary:

Cruise In Date: Saturday, October 21st.

If it rains, the event will be cancelled. I will post the cancellation on the forum and my Facebook page.

I'll add this one to my calendar, but too early to try and confirm. I would meet at the grill though since I am from the Lansing area.

Same... going to depend on how the hip replacement surgery goes on 29Aug2017 and the recovery time.

Kimi and I are in! This time I won't bring her as my girlfriend or fiancé.... She's coming as my WIFE!

luvmy82

Steve can you contact the group from Windsor and reach out to them?

Suz,

Done!

Posted up on V forum Suz!

luvmy82

Thanks for the updates George! Is that 7 cars/14 people? I need to know for headcount purposes at the restaurant.

TORXILA

People count, at 9 now.

luvmy82

Would you be able to tell me how many cars/people. Cars so I know how many pack leaders I will need (I'm sure you'll volunteer again this year, right?) People so I know the count for the restaurant. Thanks!

CAP94

I'm going to try and make it this year. Hope the weather is good.

luvmy82

Me too! Hope to see you there!

inthehunt2

Suz,

Kim and I will be there! As a heads-up, I'll be flying back from China the night before.....

luvmy82

You'll probably have major jet lag. Maybe your wife should drive the Vette?

PS: no conference calls to China during the cruise either! LOL!

TORXILA

4 cars, 9 people, so far.

luvmy82

Thanks for the update George!

The surgery went well and rehab is also going well. Add one more Corvette to the count for a running total of 5 and two people bumps that total to 11.

Thanks,
HH

My wife and I would like to join this cruise as well, possibility with another Corvette couple we usually cruise with, weather permitting of course. So that would be a total of 4 people. I will update as we get closer. Would certainly have no problem helping with "pack leader" duties if still needed.
Thanks,
George

^Sorry, have to back out of this. Just found out today I'm traveling for work late that week and over the weekend.
