There are nearby outlet malls, art galleries and lots of great restaurants featuring fresh seafood and local meats, cheese and produce. I'm happy to help you figure out how to turn this into an extended Northern California vacation. Some attendees are going on to Yosemite, the charming town of Mendocino North on the unspoiled coast, the national redwood parks and others are heading South and driving the California coast South to Los Angeles. Call me if you want any advice or need help with logistics like having cars shipped or trailer parking.
If you're local but can't attend the whole meet, we encourage you to come on Thursday for the winery tours, car show, and banquet. We hope you will join us for dinner, but we need you to sign up in advance and pick your menu choice for the banquet.
