Saturday Dinner, Canoecopia 2015

All right—we have a venue for our ‘Copia Saturday night dinner! Gray’s was not available again, so we’ll be enjoying our evening this year at Benvenuto’s in Fitchburg. (They have a couple of other Madison locations, but we’ll be at the one in Fitchburg.) Their website is here: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) . We’ll be in the Wine Cellar, which is downstairs and very private. The food is very good and it promises to be a fun evening.

Let’s plan on gathering 5:00 – 5:30 for drinks.

Please respond here if you’re coming, and for how many. I’ll need to give them a count as we get closer so they can staff appropriately. The room holds 36, but I don’t believe that should be a problem. But a reasonably close count will be helpful.

Thanks again to Kingfisher for all of his work in the past lining things up here.  Thumbs Upup

Looking forward to getting together with everyone again!

If you have any questions, shoot me a PM.

Thanks!

Snowdog and I will be there. Thanks for lining up this great venue. Italian, steaks, and seafood, what else could we ask for?

Again, thanks to KF for getting this great rendezvous established. We look forward to this annual gathering. Cool

I sent out an E-mail to some others about the dinner.
Harlan Swartz from Red Lake Outfitters in Red Lake Ontario says he will be there.

As an added draw, Harlan & Red Lake Outfitters will be at dinner. Great opportunity if you have WCPP on the brain. Wink Cool

Not sure what you just said, but if you come in August, you'll miss it. This is more like a pink flamingo 'march' event. Your presence will no doubt create a flood of signups by those pink flamingo fence sitters who were waiting for their fearless leader to commit. All hail... Cool

For anyone who may not know in advance, even if it's last minute, please feel free to come. Think of our dinners as a modern day voyageurs rendezvous. No program, just getting acquainted and swapping tales. Lots of fun! You won't find a better place to be in Madtown.  Cool
BTW, if any have Sunday wristbands you're not planning to use, please bring them to dinner.

If you want some help planning your next trip, bring your maps. Someone in the room has probably been there. Wink

I am hoping to stop by later in the evening, but will miss the dinner. Would love to have a beer with you all and "chew the fat". Oh, and I might be interested in one of those Sunday wristbands if anyone wants to offload... Shocked

Hey, stop by. We'll be there until they ask us to do dishes. If you get a Sunday wristband, don't dare miss our show! Cool

!!!!IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!!

I called Benvenutos to give them the final numbers, and there apparently was a mix-up with the room. Bottom line is a different group will be in the Wine Cellar. They can accommodate us in a semi-private area in the dining room, but it won't be as secluded as originally reported.

Since it's Thursday I told her we really didn't have a choice so I said that was fine. (Not sure the wife wants to have 20+ people over to the house for dinner Saturday night  Shocked Tongue)

So let's still plan on meeting at 5-ish. I'll hopefully figure out some way to identify who/where we are.

It's reserved under Quiet Journey, so ask for that group when you come in.

Sorry for the last-minute change.
