Join us in Tomah WI, home to the Gasoline Alley comic strip, for this year‘s Miata Spring Rally May 17th - May 19th. Gasoline Alley was the nickname for Superior Avenue in Tomah, when automobiles were becoming popular and you could find a gas station on almost every corner as a convenient refueling spot for travel between the Twin Cities and Chicago. Chicago Tribune Cartoonist Frank King started the Gasoline Alley comic strip in 1918 based on people from his home town of Tomah. A year later, in 1919 it was judged as the best cartoon of the year. This year‘s rally provides great roads, beautiful scenery, delicious food and a chance to laugh with friends.
The registration fee is $80.00 per person. This will include:
Friday pizza buffet lunch at Buzz‘s Bar and Grill in Mondovi, WI on our way to Tomah.
Welcome reception buffet on Friday evening at the Cranberry Lodge provided by Wetlands Catering. A cash bar will be available.
Buffet dinner on Saturday evening, again provided by Wetlands Catering, along with a caricature artist and ventriloquist to get us laughing. All participants are encouraged to dress up as their favorite cartoon character for Saturday‘s dinner. A cash bar will be available.
Saturday and Sunday lunches will be on your own.
There is a block of 45 rooms available at the scenic Cranberry Country Lodge. Prices vary depending on the type of room requested. Rates include a free hot breakfast from 7:00-10:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Rooms can be reserved by calling 800-243-9874 or 608-374-2801. Be sure to request the Maita Club block rate when you call. By pre-registering when you call, you will just need to show a picture ID at check in to pick up your key. Please note that not all rooms have elevator access, so please make sure your needs are met when you call to register.
