2018 Doughty 500 Details
We already announced the dates for the 2018 Doughty 500 as July 23-27. Now we have a location.
Our base camp will be at the Heartwood Conference Center and Resort in Trego, WI (not really all that near the town, but that’s the address).
Heartwood Conference Center and Resort
The resort offers a number of summer activities including:
• Namekagon River Canoe/Kayak Trips
• Namekagon River Tubing Trips
• Mountain Biking
• Basketball
• Tennis
• Horseshoes
• Sand Volleyball
• Boating
• Fishing (catch & release)
• Hiking
• Hay Rides
• Swimming Beach
We have twenty standard rooms reserved at this point (can get more if needed). Each room has two queen beds, a refrigerator, and a microwave. The rate is $120 per night.
Standard Rooms
However, there are other lodging options as well.
• There are five four-bedroom duplex cabins available. Each duplex side features four bedrooms, three with two sets of twin bunk beds and one with a queen bed so you could sleep up to fourteen people in one. They also have a fully equipped kitchen. The nightly rate for the duplex cabins is $319.
Duplex Cabins
• There are also two cottages available. Each has one bedroom with a queen bed and the second with two twin beds — as well as a queen sofa/sleeper in the living room so they could sleep up to six people. They have full kitchens as well. The nightly rate for the cottages is $219.
Cottages
What you need to do:
DO NOT contact the resort directly. If you need a reservation, please respond to me with your name, if you want a lodge room or one of the other options, and how many guests. I will pass that information along to the resort. If we end up needing more rooms I will work with the resort. I went with twenty to start with assuming that at least some of the Doughty crew will go for a cabin or cottage (the Bernie branch has already locked up the Hoinville House).
Also please let me know if you will be attending the dinner on Thursday night and how many in your party (adults/kids) so we can plan for that.
And we need to fill happy hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so let me know if you want to host.
Please note that the resort does not offer breakfast during the week. There is a store on site that sells yogurt, bagels, muffins, juice, granola bars, cheese, hand fruit (apples, oranges) and pop tarts. Plan accordingly.
UPDATE: There is now only ONE duplex left so if you want to reserve it let me know ASAP.
