MNSC Driving Event: Sunday May 7

Start at Franconia Sculpture Park at 1:30. We will leave at 3:00 and proceed into Wisconsin and take Jim’s “inland river route” to Ellsworth, and Common Man Brewing for dinner, before returning to the Twin Cities on US 10. Please RSVP, as Common Man needs several days’ notice for a large group.

Some of us will gather at 11:30 at Jimmy John’s in Oak Park Heights for lunch before heading to Franconia.

If you have not been to Franconia, note: Bring a camera, and wear comfortable shoes. The place now covers 43 acres, with over 100 works of art.
