New Year’s Eve Adventure with Rick’s Group

We will be joining Rick’s group for a New Year’s Eve adventure. We start out with a hike in Warren Woods meeting there at 2pm South Bend timezone, this is about an hour hike. Eileen is hosting the even and has a wonderful day and evening planned. Please see her description below and let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be joining for the afternoon hike only and you are also welcome to just join in for any portion of the activities. They will most liking be meeting for brunch in the am on the first if that interest you. A lot of options. Here is the description from Eileen.

*All times in this description are EST. Join us to celebrate New Year’s Eve with an Acorn favorite, Miles Nielsen & The Rusted Hearts! Miles will take the audience right into 2025 with a countdown at midnight to ring in the New Year! Show starts at 10pm EST. Get your General Admission ticket on the website in advance for $35 ($40 the week of the event) https://acornlive.org/

We’ll meet for a hike at the Sugarwood Forest Preserve at 2pm EST for those interested in the old growth Warren Woods Forest Primeval Trail, 6855 Elm Valley Rd, Three Oaks, MI
for a lovely winter hike before the evening festivities begin. This trail has huge old growth beech trees and is an easy to moderate trail. It should take an hour or so.

For dinner we have a reservation at the Hummingbird Lounge in New Buffalo at 7:15pm.

Accommodations at the Marina Grand Hotel in New Buffalo are at $226 for a queen double suite with kitchen and sofa sleeper, $293 for a king suite with a kitchen and sofa sleeper as well. Doubling and tripling up are good options as the rooms are pretty big. There are also ample options for accommodations in New Buffalo on Airbnb and at other hotels if you’d like to stay. I will inquire about ride share options so having a few drinks on NYE is a worry-free experience. Safety first everyone!

If you are sure you’d like to attend, please buy your ticket and RSVP. The rest will fall into place and I will keep everyone updated.

Thanks!
