Saugatuck, South Haven and Holland are all within an hour. These towns are artistic and/or shopping havens and fun to walk around in. I would imagine some spouses might enjoy spending the day strolling the streets of these towns, and the beaches are OK. Ludington has sparkling, pristine sandy beaches and is 90 minutes north, taking up a good afternoon as well. Maybe that will work?
Look these towns up, gentlemen.

Airfare varies greatly from day to day!!! We always check our options and start looking early. Detroit is usually the cheapest but also the farthest and the most hassle. Lansing, Flint and Grand Rapid have all been cheaper at times and way easier to get in and out of.
If you are planning on flying in for the festivities, keep checking rates and eventually you will find one that works. Keep in mind you will not need to pay for a rental car or parking if you land in Grand Rapids. You will also be about 15 minutes away from your beer destination :)

Can’t start checking for airfare until you guys lock down the date.

We discussed the possible dates last night and we came to the conclusion that the best dates are from Thursday 7/22/10 – Monday 7/26/10. This fits into our proposal the best and will allow those that want to take the optional trip to the MI Summerfest the 23rd since that’s the only weekend it is and it is a great event. Our proposal will have most of the events from Friday to Monday, but we’ll have some fun stuff going on Thursday too if you want to come in a day earlier.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be meeting to discuss more of the details on setting up blocks of hotels rooms, tasting locations, contacting brewers, and work on getting a more concrete plan. When we have updates, we’ll post on here or in a new thread. I’ll work on getting the event up on here too.
We’ll also work on finding non-beer stuff to do for the families/spouses since that will be the only chance for some of you to come.
If you have any questions, etc….please post on here or message me.
Cheers, Jeff

I’ll definitely make it out to this if it doesn’t conflict. It looks like it’ll be awesome.
