2006 NSR FALL TOUR
Coordinated and led by Tony & Kim Karsnia
We will be touring to Tony’s hometown of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota over the weekend of September 22-24, 2006 Come
along with us as we enjoy great fellowship, fantastic cars, and beautiful fall colors!
We’ll meet at Denny’s Diner in Rogers, MN on Friday morning to begin our journey approx. 200 miles northwest of the Twin
Cites to Detroit Lakes. The motorcade of cars will leave at 9 AM SHARP, so please arrive at the diner earlier if you wish to
eat prior to departure. The drive will be leisurely, with plenty of potty and special interest stops.
Once we arrive in DL, we will be staying at a brand-new hotel (built and owned by longtime DL hotel owners) called THE LODGE ON LAKE DETROIT, which is located right on the east shore of beautiful Lake Detroit. We have reserved a block of rooms at a special rate of $116.10 (plus tax) per night. The block includes Resort Rooms with either two queen beds or one king bed. NOTE: Room rate includes complimentary deluxe breakfast bar with eggs, crepes, etc…much more than a typical continental breakfast! Please contact The Lodge directly to make your reservation, and be sure to mention you are with the NSR Cadillac-LaSalle Club. Call 1-800-761-VIEW for reservations. You can also check out The Lodge website at www.thelodgeonlakedetroit.com. The Lodge address is 1200 East Shore Drive, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501.
A group reservation has been made for our Friday evening
dinner at THE FIRESIDE RESTAURANT, located just a short
distance down East Shore
Drive from our hotel.
On Saturday morning after breakfast, we’ll take a little
tour into the country to the nearby village of Vergas. This community
is well
known in the area for it’s various antique and special interest shops. We’ll
eat lunch in Vergas at Billy’s Bar; a place
known for great food!
In keeping with our tradition of showing off our classic
Cadillac & LaSalle automobiles to the public, the leaders of this tour
have
organized a special CAR SHOW on Saturday afternoon at Nereson
Chevrolet-Cadillac-Jeep, located on Hwy. 10 in
Detroit Lakes! The folks at Nereson’s are pleased to have us display our classics at their dealership and
will make sure this
is known in their local ads! They will even be providing
shuttle vans for anyone who prefers to go downtown to the mall or
back to the
hotel during the show. The car show will run for approximately 3 hours. There
will be plenty of time to freshen
up and get something to eat prior to the
evening activity.
Saturday evening will find us at the Historic Holmes
Theatre in Detroit Lakes, where we will see a live performance by “The
Chinese
Golden Dragon Acrobats.” This group is currently on Broadway and is one of the
highlights on the 2006 DL HHT
schedule. We will be given a special group rate
of $15.00 per ticket (normally $16-18/ticket.) To receive the special rate,
tickets must be reserved by August 1 by calling the box office at (218)
844-7469. Again, please mention that you are with
NSR Cadillac-LaSalle Club.

We’ll let you sleep in a bit on Sunday morning. Around
noon, we will be meeting up with the Detroit Lakes Antique Car
Club, who are
taking their annual Fall Foliage Run that afternoon. They will head back toward
the Twin Cities with us, and
we’ll all pull off the road for a “pie & coffee”
stop along the way. After that, our tour will be complete as we head the rest
of the way home.
We look forward to your participation in this fun, yet
relaxing event! Please feel welcome to contact me with any questions,
concerns,
or comments.
