CW20 Event Mansfield Ohio, Aug 25 & 26!
In conjunction with CW20 anniversary...
I would like to have an event here in Mansfield... You have seen me talk about the local cigar store which is a pretty cool place , more than likely it is different than other you have been to... as the owner says , this place has spirit... The cigar store is Suzy's Smokeroom , the store has been in the same building for 78 years now , always been a cigar place along with newspapers , magazines , sports etc.... the owners last name is Saprano you can guess the rest from the past... What I have in mind ideally is a two day event (Fri/Sat)... Links to most places provided below... Everything is within walking distance of the Holiday Inn downtown... when I say walking distance I mean three blocks , in reality from Suzy's 2 blocks , Holiday Inn is a block from Suzy's ... Friday... Breakfast at Holiday Inn... Day trip ~3 hours to Shawshank/OSR which is only 7 minutes away by car (transportation will probably be provided)... Then back to Suzy's for cigars/drinks (BYO , dinner at City Grille , then hang out at one of several places Saturday ... Breakfast at Holiday Inn... Most of this day is open to whatever people might want to do , I can probably arrange for Golf at the local country club , possibly rides around historic Mid Ohio Sports Car Course depending on the weekend etc... Afternoon at Suzy's , then dinner at Rocky's followed by a night at Suzy's with a band , probably a piano guy (been there for that , he is pretty good , and there will be 50-80 people come thru to watch) Also on the list is one of the higher class bars in town Martinis (about 25 steps from Suzy's) , bourbon/scotch place... Local Micro Brew : Phoenix Brewery... Local coffee shop : Relax its just coffee Local Pizza place : Two Cousins The last two are literally across the street from Suzy's If, we can arrange this on a final Friday of a month there are concerts in the Brickyard... There is also the the Richland Carrousel Park... "Richland Carrousel Park opened in 1991 as the first new, hand-carved carrousel to be built and operated in the United States since the 1930's." (the Carrousel is about 300 ft from Suzy's) The only two July/August weekends that are off limits that I am aware of at this point are... July 28-30th (Honda Indy 200 In town) August 11-12 (Mid Ohio Challenge , NASCAR XFinity) It doesn't appear the Tough Mudder people are here this year , If their schedule changes we might have to work around that for the hotel... If I can get enough people , probably 10 or more , I can put together a package deal to include everything (excluding alcohol) My guess is ~$500 for everything , I can get real numbers if there is enough (any) interest... Here are reference points/times for driving... Chicago 6 hours NYC 8 hours Atlanta 10 Hours Cleveland/Columbus 1 Hour LINKS : Suzy's Facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/citynews.smokeroom/ City Grille : http://www.citygrilleandbar.com/ Rockys Pub :http://www.rockyspub.com/ Phoenix : http://www.phoenixbrewing.com/ Martinis On Main : http://www.martinisbarmansfieldoh.com/ The Brickyard : http://www.brickyardmansfield.com/ Mid Ohio : http://www.midohio.com/ http://www.richlandcarrousel.com/ Any Interest ?? Dan p.s. It can be compressed into one day (Saturday) , but , obviously very limited on where we can go.... Last edited by TommyBB; 08-29-2017 at 09:53 AM. |

You have clearly put a lot of thought into this. Hope you get the turnout and then some.

This actually sounds fun. Jason we should do something here in ATL - at least a day long bash if we can think of something...
And I'm going to talk to the wife about ohio - she's from cleveland area originally, we could make a week of it and she could visit her cousins - unfortunately her aunt and uncle both passed away from cancer in the last 3 years....

I'd like to have 4-5 satellite herfs going on at the same time. Between you, me and our local b and ms, we should be able to come up with a southeast herf.

Sounds doable for me at this point (coming from metro Detroit). There are a number of guys local to me who may be interested.

My wife will be traveling with her mother - but that just means I can come and hang out with the guys. SO tentatively, pencil me in!

Ok , since there seems to be some interest in this event I will get a package deal together with real numbers by next week... (less than $500 total with hotel room for 2 days)
I would like to know what the real interest is , I realize its early... I am going to reserve 10 rooms , its kind of a tough actually , we have the Rover pipeline coming thru town , it has brought 15000 extra people into the area... I will have to release the rooms by first week of August... So , if anyone is interested give me a heads up so I can kind of gauge things... Dan |
