Where’s all the Green Lake Reunion Talk

Southern travelers: Take I-65 to I-80/94 west, continue on 80/94 west for about 10mi (do not follow 94 to Chicago when it spins off however), exit I-80 at 294 north (tri-state tollway), 294 north will eventually become I-94 north and will take you to Wisconsin.

This is dead on, that roadway is brand new minimum of 4 lanes wide and it really moves pretty good now. It's taken 15 years of construction to get to this but it not half as bad as it used to be. Just try to avoid morning and afternoon rush hour and you'll do 65 right through.

Dan,
To bad for the TB show huh... I'll bet they pump water in from the river and it's back to normal faster than you think.. Huge money draw for the state....

Good to here you've got some buds coming with you.. Yes, sign them up so we can get a total count by months end..

My 46th b-day is the 12th, so the first shot is on me dude !!!! Can't wait !!

Dan did you get the updated RE Mail from Kristi at TB ?



Tommy Bartlett Alumni,



Although you received notice that the 55th reunion was cancelled, we realize that a number of you were still planning to visit the area.



Please read the attached notice regarding next weekend.



If you are planning to attend, please e-mail me back with the number of people as we are trying to get some sort of a count. Several local businesses will be assisting us in putting on this event.



Thanks,



TBI Year-Round Staff







This notice is from the current year-round employees of Tommy Bartlett, Inc.
We understand that a large number of you are planning to return next weekend in spite of the fact that the official reunion has been cancelled.
In honor of Tom and Margaret Diehl, and the catastrophe that has forever changed our lives, we are offering to you, the alumni, a warm welcome with a much revised schedule of events.
The memorabilia room will be open Friday for registration starting at 1:00 and will follow the original schedule.
The “gathering tent” will be set up for a place to meet, socialize and share stories of the past and present.
We are still able to provide you with discounted tickets to area attractions and hope you take advantage of this offer.
We will also give you a list of the area restaurants that are offering TBI alumni discounts off their menu items.
The Tommy Bartlett Show reopened Friday and is running performances daily at 4:30 & 8:30. It is now a 90-minute spectacular stage show. There will be a section reserved for all alumni and their families at the evening show on Saturday.
After Saturday’s 8:30 show the Ravina Bar & Grill is hosting a get-together for all TBI alumni; and now, in the wake of disaster, to also thank Tom & Margaret for their unselfish love and kindness.
Food & beverages will be on hand throughout the weekend.
Please let us know if you are still planning to attend.




If you are coming into the Area this week LMK and we can get together.

The upper Dells is gorgeous boating. We did it last year and will be there at the end of July.

I called the place where we stay last weekend. The river is open with no boating restrictions.

We launched at the campgrounds - Holiday Shores - which is way up stream where the river opens up into a lake. So I can't really offer any suggestions for launching anywhere else.

As far as boating the river, there wasn't any surprises. Plenty of depth everywhere we went, but we didn't stray too far off the beaten path. I saw a log or two floating, but we had a ton of rain that weekend. Hopefully, any floaties will be out of your way by the weekend.
