Head West Walldogs

Post by Tony Segale »

Announcing the first ever walldog meet west of the Rockies....

Head West Walldogs
May 26,27,28 & 29, 2006, Memorial Weekend in Lodi, CA
(If you pop on over to the Letterville Future Meets page, you'll see the official artwork and announcement, not very good about posting pics in here)

" Follow the migration out west with Allen, Bennett, Butler, Masters,
Oatis, Sawatsky, Wallenfang and Weber, as they discover gold in the
premium wine country of Lodi, CA. Eight historically themed murals will honor the centennial anniversary of the incorporation of the city, where the railroad and river merge supporting the fertile vineyards in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley"

Now is the time to plan that California vacation you always wanted to take. Lodi is centered in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, 30 minutes south of Sacramento (the best airport to fly in). Known as the premiunm winegrape capital of the world, Lodi now has over 40 boutique wineries. The first microbrewery opened a year ago,located in the center of all the wall areas, with the owner promising a specially made ale just for the WallDogs.

Two hours to the west is San Francisco or Santa Cruz, another hour down the coast is Monterey. To the east two hours is Lake Tahoe, about two and a half hours to Yosemite.

Plan now, book ahead. We have more fifty's style motels than modern hotels, though we have those too; and the Grape Festival Fairground
manager spoke of charging under $20 a night for trailers with hookups and under $10 a night for tent campers.

"all yer jawwin' is causing me to lose my will to live"

thank goodness no fella by the name of Dickinson
out in the town of Lodi ever opened a metal works shop....
he'd be more than likely to find his own grave by now

All the murals will have a historical theme, telling the story of
Lodi in it's centennial year of incorporation...2006.

Come on out, this will be the one to remember with the 40 plus
boutique wineries gearing up for our arrival. And the microbrew
has hinted at making a special ale just for the Walldogs.

Please leave your clown suits at home.

There's a chance I will be living out there by then, so I will try to make it, my first wall meet! Now I have another thing to shoot for!
