NACBA 2017 FRIDAY ACTIVITIES
Join us as we explore Madison on Friday, May 26th. We’ll be taking advantage of the beautiful surroundings that is distinctively Madison. In the morning, we’ll be touring the beautiful campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This is the perfect opportunity for all those in high school to visit a BIG TIME BIG TEN COLLEGE. You’ll see why going away to college is “SWEET”. Next, if you haven’t done it before, you’ll want to try it – paddle boarding on the lake. Madison is surrounded by two lakes so there’s ample opportunity for you get some sun and get wet. If paddle boarding isn’t your thing, then try kayaking or a canoe. For those that want to stay on land, we’ll also be hosting a bike tour around the town and visiting many of the sites you may not get a chance to see once the balling begins on Saturday. All are welcome to join us for some fun. Sign up below because we need to reserve spaces for the tour, kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes as Memorial Day is a busy holiday weekend.
If you would like to venture out on your own or with a few friends, click on one of these and explore Madison.
Let’s not forget about the Worlds Largest Bratfest, www.bratfest.com. There’s even a carnival-Mr. Ed’s Magical Midway, with spectacular thrill, family and kiddie rides.
