Anyone that wants to go as a group on this road rally can meet at the Garnett Town Square at 10am on Friday Oct 12th. Our first destination will be Guy & Mae's Tavern, famous for its BBQ foods. There will be sack lunches available there (still working on this idea). From there we will head towards Osawatomie where the John Brown Museum is located. There are several restaurants there if BBQ is not your thing. The trip is at your own pace so if you want to stop and check out any of the points of interest, feel free to do so. Of course you can take any road you like, but the ones marked on the map are black top and in good condition.
See you back at the community center for the Kick Off dinner at 5pm.
