This year we have two great ways to stay informed about the UMG. First is the Facebook event page found at: https://www.facebook.com/events/513641801993783/ Join the Facebook event for our day to day conversations about the UMG.

We also have the official sign up page for the UMG. If you are coming, you'll want to sign up here so I have an accurate count of who is coming. Plus, you'll get all the important updates. The sign up page is at: Sign up for the 2013 UMG

I'm hoping to make this the biggest and best UMG yet. And I can't do that without you!!!

:lo5l: I'm the only one w/o a car listed

It's not a mystery anymore!

Don't feel too bad...I have a relatively tight schedule to get mine all finished up & completely drivable again before May. It better happen, but of course there's always that chance that stuff doesn't go completely as planned.

Looks like we now have 37 people officially signed up for the UMG.

I did talk with Baker's Sunset Bay Resort last week. Looks like we have 11 rooms book. So there are still some good rooms left, but I'd recommend getting your room booked soon! The cheaper ones always go fast.

We are only 10 weeks away now!

Hey everyone,

I just got an updated list from Baker's Sunset Bay Resort. Looks like we have 18 rooms booked so far. That isn't too bad. The UMG is only six weeks away now. Its time to get your room booked, if you are going. I think all of the $78 rooms are taken. So get on it soon! Their website is: Sunset Bay Resort Give them a call at 800-435-6515

I know this long winter has you procrastinating, but spring will be here soon. See you in Wisconsin Dells!!!

I've been working on the UMG schedule. I'm a little undecided what to do after the car show on Saturday afternoon. I've heard some interest in going to the Kalahari Indoor Theme Park since we get free tickets from the hotel. In the past we've done a boat tour and go-karts. We'd be on rotation to do the jet-boats this year.

I have a poll on the Facebook event page for you to vote on what you'd prefer. Go to:
https://www.facebook.com/events/513641801993783/

Or you can comment on here what you'd prefer to do. Here is the tentative schedule so far:

Hey everyone,

Some final reminders for the UMG. We will be doing two rural cruises again. One on Friday morning and the other on Sunday morning. Bring your FRS radios if you have them. Also, for the car show on Saturday morning, you can print off your car sign ahead of time. The sign is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign.doc

And my example sign is at:
http://www.mn3s.org/car-sign-curt.doc

Might be a good idea to print off the schedule also. The schedule is at:

Only four more days!!

See you in the Dells,
