APEX Did everyone see who bought and picked up the $1.3 million dollar one-ofone 911 Classic Club Coupe at Porsche Parade? Jerry Seinfeld (a more than 30 year member of PCA) took possession of it at parade and then drove it back to Los Angeles. If you want to read more about it and see pics follow this link https://www.pca.org/news/comedian-jerry-seinfeld-takesdelivery-of-911-classic-club-coupe-at-porsche-parade or nd in on the pca.org website. Wonder if any of the Schonesland members that attended were able to see it?!

What a month of June. We had a very successful Drive and Dine at Gilroy’s.

It was a perfect weather night with a great turnout. And, the Cars and Co ee in Omaha, in coordination with the 75th anniversary of Porsche, was hugely successful as well. Thank you Woodhouse Porsche for the delightful open house. It is always exciting to see parking lots full of Porsches.

We have our second annual Thursday Nights in Pella on Thursday, July 6th.

Come display your car around the square and enjoy Pella! Pella has a little celebration every Thursday night with food and music in their park. It was a great event last year, and they loved having us!

July 13-16 is our annual Wisconsin Drive this year. This has been moved from the fall to July. Maybe this year we won’t have snow during the drive! Always a fun, exciting drive planned by Skip Hammerman and Garry Seemann. This year does have some down time in Galena built in with some more changes in restaurants and hotels from prior years.

Saturday, July 22, is our New Member Picnic at Bob Timmerman and Linda Laine’s house. Also good BBQ and conversation. Come get to know new and old members!

August 5th is a new drive to the Brucemore Estate in Cedar Rapids. This is just a day drive with lunch in Cedar Rapids and the tour of the Brucemore to follow.

And as usual we have our Cars & Co ee and Drive & Dine scheduled.

Please see www.schonesland.com/ calendar for more info and for links to register for the events!!

RECAP

Not just a normal Cars & Co ee, with two regions participating 67 cars lined up in the Berkshire Hathaway parking lot.

Breakfast was hosted by Woodhouse Bentley.

After serious tire kicking Woodhouse Porsche held an open house for Porsche owners and were hoping for a turn-out of over 150 cars.

Creative hors d’oeuvres would be an understatement. The strawberries were amazing.

UPCOMING DRIVES Wisconsin Drive The Wisconsin Drive will be this year July 13-16 in its new format and new roads. This is the third iteration of this iconic trip that was initially developed by Ron and Alice Newman.

This third format of the drive will take us on Thursday to Prairie du Chien where we will stay at the wonderful River District Hotel and have dinner at the Jones’ Black Angus Restaurant that is one of the all-time favorite dinner destinations of all of our drives. On Friday morning we take o towards Dubuque with a great lunch stop at the Potosi Brewing Company Restaurant and National Brewery Museum. After lunch we will cruise to Dubuque on some of the best scenic back roads Wisconsin has to o er. We will stay at the historic Hotel Julien in Dubuque and have a couple of great restaurants reserved for dinner. On Saturday we drive south and cross the Mississippi River to the Illinois side before a stop at Poopy’s Biker Destination. Then continue North ending in Galena at lunch at Vinny Vanucchi’s Little Italy Restaurant.

That afternoon is open for everyone to enjoy what Galena o ers or to drive some more in Illinois and Wisconsin as the scenery and roads are fantastic.

Saturday night we conclude with dinner at Timmerman’s Supper Club overlooking the Mississippi River before returning to the Hotel Julien for the night.

Let us make this another great Schonesland Tour experience! Please register at http://msreg.com/ Wisconsin2023 skiphammerman@msn.com

UPCOMING DRIVES Red Wing Tour We’re the Schonesland Region and we do driving tours-as good as any region around, some people might say. Last year we took a chance on a new tour to the Red Wing, Minnesota area with a more laid-back schedule. By all accounts it was a big hit. So, we’re doing it again this September with a few new twists.

For twist number ONE, as many of you may already know, this event will be our 2023 Fall tour, rather than our fantastic Wisconsin tour, which is coming up in mid-July. TWO, this trip to Red Wing will be one day longer, beginning on Thursday, September 28th for those who can get away that day. THREE, we have a REALLY good drive lined up for Friday, Sept 29th all over those curvy, hilly Wisconsin roads just across the Mississippi River from Red Wing. Except for one small stint, these are all new roads not driven last year. And FOUR, for those who want to be really adventurous, we’ll be driving early (quite early!) Saturday morning on September 29th, to the Chanhasssen Automotorplex to enjoy their last Cars and Co ee of the season that just happens to sport a German Car Octoberfest theme. But the cars are NOT the main attraction at this facilityit’s the over-the-top garages and man caves that you’re really going to enjoy.

There is no planned afternoon event after the Cars and Co ee you’re free to do whatever you wish for the afternoon. “Like what?” you may ask……Well, Prince’s Paisley Park is just four blocks away from the Automotorplex. You may select from four, di erent-priced mid-day guided tours at this landmark musician’s residence, recording studios and museum by ordering (online only) your tour pass at paisleypark.com. You’ll want to monitor their site so that when the tickets become available for Sept 30, you’ll be able to get one- they’re limited and very popular.

UPCOMING DRIVES Or, you may wish to tour the world-renowned Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in nearby Chaska, MN. Learn all about it at arb.umn.edu And I guess there’s always Mall of America. Don’t ask: the Vikings are out of town that weekend.

Registration – two steps We have a block of 23 rooms at the historic St. James Hotel in Red Wing under the Schonesland Porsche Club. Your rst step is to reserve your room by calling the hotel at651-388-2846. Step two is to register with motorsportreg.com at http://msreg.com/2023redwing RED WING TOUR WKND MENU: THURSDAY Lunch- The Other Place 200 US-18 Clear Lake, IA Dinner- Home Plate Bar & Grill 227 Bush St, Red Wing, MN FRIDAY Lunch- Shanghai Bistro, Eau Claire, WI Dinner- Italian Pasta bu et The Jewel Golf Club 1900 Clubhouse Dr, Lake City, MN SATURDAY Dinner-Smokin’ Oak Rotisserie and Grill 4243 US-61, Red Wing, MN
