Default Free Fun Run Oshkosh Lake Winnebago June 18th & 19th

2010 Lake Winnebago Fun Run
June 18th &19th Sweetwater Performance Center / City Center Hotel

Oshkosh Thunder is going to take a year off due to the economy and give the boaters and sponsors a breather; however the Chicago Boat Club would still like to have a ‘Fun Run’ on Lake Winnebago. Stockbridge Harbor on the other side of Lake Winnebago is still having ‘Harborfest’ that will have great food available, an awesome band (Red Fish) and lots of activities. The City Center Hotel (old Park Plaza on the river) has been remodeled recently and has a block of rooms reserved until May 15th at a discounted rate. We hope that you can make a showing for the people at Harborfest who love to see the big boats. Stockbridge Harbor has great docking, beautiful landscaping, and lots of room available.

Suggested schedule of events:
Friday:

There will be bands at Boatyard Bar & Grill, the Fox River Grill, and the Hilton Garden Inn
Slippage and boat trailer parking available at the Pioneer Marina, and at Sweetwater Performance.

Saturday:

Breakfast is available at either Fox River Grill in the City Center Hotel, the Boatyard Bar & Grill, or the Hilton Garden Inn

Meet in the mouth of the river by the railroad bridge at approx. 11:00 AM to head across the lake to Harborfest in
Stockbridge Harbor where there be an awesome band (Red Fish) playing, great food, and lots of activities.

After lunch you can head across the lake and a little South to Striech’s sand beach bay for some sun & fun, or hang at
Harborfest for a stay before heading back to Oshkosh.
