In case any of my fellow WI Ferrari owners are not aware, the Auto Gallery in Green Bay is having it's second Festa Italiana May 18th. Poster attached, link below. The Gallery has invited the WI Ferrari club again this year to bring a few cars to be displayed. It seems there will be some nice cars. The club is organizing a 45-60 min drive in from somewhere yet to be set. Anyone interested in joining? https://theautomobilegallery.org/event/festa-italiana-2024/
Possibly. I know the Illinois chapter is doing stuff in Lake Geneva that weekend so I'm not sure which one I'm going to. Sent from my toilet using FerrariChat.com mobile app

Congrats! Beautiful car. You should join us (FCA WI Chapter) for a drive this spring. We have a couple good ones, including a 2 day drive, in the works. Message me if you want any details.
Yes, I highly recommend joining the wi chapter. It's a very laid back and easy going group that is great to be part of.
Do you guys do any activities on the west side of WI? We're in Eau Claire, so out of convenience we run with the Minneapolis group.
I think there was an event out that way last year. Unfortunately being in a lowered car with carbon seats and a full exhaust is agonizing after 3 hours so I keep it closer to home.
This past June we had our annual spring weekend trip in La Crosse, we drove up the MN side on Sunday crossed at Red Wing and had lunch in at Vino in the Valley before heading back east. The plans next spring are to center around Spring Green to drive the Driftless region making a stop at the Driftless Glenn in Baraboo but otherwise west of north of those two places. Some good roads. We're thinking of maybe a 2 day summer road trip up to Copper Harbor in the UP, did that a few years ago, some good roads up there as well. The bulk of the events however are centered between the Fox Valley/GB, Door County, and Milwaukee where most of us are. There is a member in Eau Claire, a couple in La Crosse, and a couple in Stevens Point. Our fall (late Sept) weekend is traditionally in Door County. There is a FCA MN Chapter as well, different from the MN Ferrari Owner's group. Hope that helps.
Thanks, sounds like you guys do some really nice road trips. My wife and I are currently members of the MN Ferrari Owner's group. It separated from the FCA as you probably know. Great group of folks and close to home. I believe an awesome couple with a certain black 488 are in your club as well as ours, and ironically from Iowa. I'll keep tabs on your events and maybe sign up with the club to join everyone in La Crosse.
I'm certain I know who you are referring two. They joined us for our annual Fall Color Drive in and around the Kettle Moraine State forest drive this past Oct and then again for our annual holiday dinner in Sheboygan. With the Iowa chapter being small, we have 2 Iowa couples that regularly join our events. Enjoy driving your new car and the drives with the fine folks of the MN club. If you do did the chance to drive with us, I look forward to meeting you and your car.
