Post by slixtyfive »

Although it will likely be a while before we can confirm I want to remind everyone that we will have cruise destinations each day of SlickStock 9.
We are hopeful to have the same/similar cruise destinations in 2021 that were planned in 2020 and will post updates as they get confirmed.

2020 Destinations were:
Grimes Farm and Conservation Area
Big Tree House
Skunk River Restorations
Reiman Gardens
Iowa Veterans Home
Iowa Speedway
National Sprint Car HoF
Matthew Edel Blacksmith Shop
Buzzed Bee Meadery
Sindt Implement Museum(John Deere Collection)
Amana Colonies
Matchstick Marvels
Jensen Ford Cruise Inn

Buzzed Bee Meadery is no only open on Saturday afternoon so we won't be able to stop there on Thursday as originally planned.

The Big Tree House has not made all repairs to damage from the Derecho storm last August so they are not re-opened for tours yet.
