Good news everybody!
 
Early morning Cars and Coffee events have been gaining popularity across the country. -- Unfortunately, for those of us in the Chippewa Valley, attending one of these events meant waking up before dawn and driving 2 hours into Minnesota.

At this time, the Chippewa Valley Sports Car Club, is happy to announce that we are going to make your drive much shorter! 

Every third Saturday of the month, beginning the 19th of April in 2014, we will be hosting Chippewa Valley Cars and Coffee.

When: Saturday, April 19th, 2014 8am - 11am
Location: Action City @ Metropolis Resort
Address: 2402 Lorch Ave, Eau Claire, WI 54701
Who: The event is open to all automotive enthusiasts.
What: Chippewa Valley Cars and Coffee will be a place to meet other car enthusiasts, talk about cars, drink some free coffee, eat some free donuts, and generally just have a fun time.

Action City Fun Pass: 2 hours for $12
Action City has been kind enough to extend a discount to all Cars and Coffee participants, for $12 you get all the Karting - Laser Tag - Bumper cars - etc. that you can fit into 2 hours. 

Details for our future events:
When: Every 3rd Saturday of the Month.
