For those driving to the area on Friday afternoon, we are planning a dinner at the Latitude 42 Brewing Co., located at 7842 Portage Road, Portage, about 5.3 miles and 10 minutes from the hotel.
Saturday morning we will drive to DeNooyer Jaguar, located at 5850 Stadium Dr, Kalamazoo, MI. for the start of the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Car Rally. It typically has three stops and ends around 2 - 3 PM. It is usually a very scenic back road route.
Saturday at 5 PM we will have dinner at Charles and Darl's Bar and Grill, part of the Gull Lake View Golf Resort, located at 7417 N 38th St., Agusta, MI. Following dinner we will drive a short distance take in a play at the Barn Theater, 13351 M-96, Augusta, MI. It has become a tradition over the years and has always been a lot of fun. Pick up your tickets at the Will-Call window.
Sunday morning we will drive to the Gilmore Car Museum, 6865 W Hickory Rd, Hickory Corners, MI, and park our Jaguars on the grass. Gilmore offers much to be seen and there will be lots of British cars in attendance.
About 3 PM we head home by way of Marshall, and of course stop at Schuler's Bar and Restaurant, 115 S Eagle St, Marshall, MI, another JAGM tradition.
