    Hi anyone with info on the area where the RED ROOF INN on hayes rd.
    Is that a good area wife wants to know?
    we have a small dog and we generally stay at red roofs since they are pet friendly.
    also it would be our first time in WI since 1984 so dont remember a whole lot of the trip. last question I think... Are dogs allowed on the fairgrounds at HYbridfest? past fair goers?
    Thanks

    and FireEngineer,(Wayne) I am going to try the ebh install my self today if not able I hope to see you there and be # 22 by now for another notch in your install belt.. :)

    thanks

    Craig

    Send an Email or PM to EricBecky. Of course, he's probably overly swamped with other H'fest things so give him a couple days to reply.

    You know that they've negotiated a reduced rate at the hotel at the fairgrounds, right? Is your wife coming with you? If it's just you, then you might want to look into a roommate to offset costs.

    I'm working on a limited budget too. I'm driving, which for me is almost 1000 miles, split into 2+ days. I'll likely bring my tent and find a campground for the overnight stays along the way, and I might do the same in Madison. There's a state park not far away.

    The subtle subplot here tells me to stay miles AWAY from the Clarion! :D

    Craig,
    Sent you a PM about the area around Red Roof Inn. I'd feel comfortable having my family stay in that area. While it's not on the site of Hybridfest, it is near all sorts of shopping, national chain businesses, etc.

    Dogs are not allowed on the fairgrounds.
